Can Pre-Transplant Renal Function Predict Short-Term and Long-Term Post-Transplant Survival?

PRFT has a positive impact on both short-term and long-term post-transplant survival. With many patients being predisposed to a spectrum of metabolic disorders, it is apparent that PRFT is an integral part of evaluation and prediction of survival following HTX. The patho-physiological synergy between the cardiac and renal systems evidently justifies that pre-transplant optimization of renal function leads to an increased short-term and long-term post-transplant survival.
