Abstract
Scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) is a devastating complication of diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) that occurs in 5% to 20% of patients in this population. End-stage kidney disease develops in 25% to 40% of SRC, and mortality occurs in 50% at 5 years. Kidney transplantation (KT) is a viable option, but little data exist on outcomes. We performed a retrospective study of all patients with dcSSc who underwent KT at Northwestern Hospital between 2000 and 2020. The objective of this study was to determine graft and patient survival at years 5 and 10 post-transplant. Both patient and graft survival were 78% and 100% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Kidney transplantation is associated with favorable outcomes in patients and graft survival at 5 and 10 years in patients with dcSSc.
