The aim is to create an overview of the similarities and differences in daily practice among the different centers performing pediatric kidney transplantation in Europe. For this purpose, a Clinical Practice Snapshot will be used to provide insight in the current approaches.
In order to create an overview of the current care for pediatric kidney transplant (PKT) recipients a clinical practice snapshot was developed. All participating centers were asked to answer 6 clinical questions on their last 30 transplanted patients. Patient characteristics, donor charactertistics, use of stents, immunosuppressive medication and renal function are compared between centers.
