Abstract
The management of patients with failure of a kidney transplant can be a challenge to nephrologists and pediatric nephrologists as many individual patient factors have to be considered that make it difficult to give general treatment recommendations. After a failed kidney transplant the patients have to quickly prepared for a return to dialysis or to receive a second transplant. Since these patients are at an increased risk of mortality, important decisions have to be made regarding the beginning of dialysis, continued management of immunosuppressive therapy and the question if and when the failed allograft should be removed. This article summarizes the literature on risk factors that should be taken into account and gives management recommendations for dialysis initiation, immunosuppression and indications for transplant nephrectomy in children and adults.
