Exactly 4110 stable kidney allograft recipients were enrolled for an average of 4 years after successful surgery. Eleven percent were currently smoking, 39% were former smokers, 50% never smoked.
Current smoking was associated with 100% increase in hazard of non-cardiovascular death, 50% increase in allograft failure and 60% increase in composite endpoint of death or allograft failure.
Cessation of smoking is needed in kidney transplant recipients to preserve survival free of dialysis.
