Quality of Life after Kidney Transplant.

How to do research:
@benedict66066, I also like to refer prople to the National Kidney Registry.
http://www.kidneyregistry.org
Here's another search option:
Google Scholar is a place to locate the latest medical research. It allows you to sort the search results by year so you can see the newest first - https://scholar.google.com/
Since the title of this discussion is Quality of Life after a Kidney transplant - Here's the results using it for a search:

That you! Will definitely Ask about lower eplet match.

Your transplant center will tell you there are many factors that go into a good match. And this is true! However, it is good to know about this and be able to talk with your providers as someone who would like to include this in the search. Good luck!

@dotygl I don't know that a transplant center can tell a patient before the procedure, just what side effects they might experience. Each patient is different. Of course, they want a great donor/recipient match, and strive to do that. The criteria they use may be different for different people, based on comorbidities, root cause of the kidney issue, additional medications a patient is on, age, etc. In my experience, there is always going to be some side effect of a transplant procedure and post-transplant medications. It bears the patient well to be on top of things and let the transplant team know of concerns in order to hopefully work around them. Even years after, medications may need to be changed around, doses adjusted.
