Abstract. The purpose of this investigation was to compare outcomes in the immediate posttransplant period for hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal (PD) dialysis patients who received cadaveric renal transplantation. Data were obtained from the United Network of Organ Sharing on all cadaveric graft recipients who were dialysis-dependent at the time of transplantation between April 1994 and December 1995. Baseline characteristics were compared between groups, and multivariate logistic regression was performed with outcome measures including urine production in the first 24 h posttransplantation (U24), requirement for dialysis in the first week posttransplant (FWDIAL), and treatment for acute rejection during the initial hospitalization. The odds of oliguria (not producing urine in the first 24 h) were 1.49 (1.28 to 1.74) times higher in HD versus PD patients. After adjustment for other comorbid conditions including age, gender, race, HLA mismatch, time on dialysis, panel-reactive antibodies, and cold and warm ischemia time, the odds of oliguria were 1.60 (1.14 to 2.25) times higher in black HD patients compared with PD patients and 1.29 (1.06 to 1.57) times higher in white HD patients. In a similar manner, after adjustment for significant comorbid conditions, the odds of requiring dialysis in the first week were 1.56 (1.22 to 2.0) times higher in black HD patients versus PD patients and 1.40 (1.21 to 1.60) times higher in white HD patients. The rate of acute rejection was similar during the first hospitalization. These results suggest that there is an association between hemodialysis and delayed graft function. Differences in biocompatibility between the two modalities could potentially be responsible.
