Do it ?
KTP provides a survival advantages and better QOL compared with dialysis.The most who failed 1st Tx consider the 2nd.Improved immunosuppressive regimens and recognition of appropriate administration targets → ↓ rejections and ↑graft survivals

Transplantation Proceedings, 33, 1188–1189 (2001)
USRDS data 1988-1997; 4,039 repeat transplants
The highest incidence of repeat graft failure occurs in the first 6 months and is conferred by a first transplant graft loss within the first 12 months.
The 5-year risk of second graft loss was highest for patients who lost their primary graft between 4 and 12 months posttransplant and 2 weeks to 3 months posttransplant as compared to those who lost their grafts at greater than 48 months posttransplant (RR 5 2.34 and 2.28, respectively, P<0.0001).
Allograft Nephrectomy
~20% of patients eventually require a transplant nephrectomyNot necessary in the majority of cases before transplantation.No clinically apparent evidence of acute rejection or infection at the time of retransplantation.
Allograft Nephrectomy
Primary graft nephrectomy can be indicated if symptoms or signs related with immunosuppressant withdrawal (e.g., fever, malaise, graft swelling, thrombocytopenia and hematuria)Nephrectomy can be avoided by temporary reinstitution of immunosuppressants.Avoidance of nephrectomy is preferred due to possibly elevation in the percentage of preformed cytotoxicantibodies.Morbidity (e.g., bleeding) and mortality of primary transplant nephrectomy are not negligible.
Allograft Nephrectomy
Removal of primary transplant can be performed in concordance with placement of the subsequent transplantation.

54 second transplants (48 relatives) of 1,406 all transplants
All patients received induction antibody therapy (ATG, OKT3, basiliximab or daclizumab)
The overall graft and patient survival was good; 15 grafts (27%) lost during the follow up of 1–17 years.

Predictors of graft survival (multivariate analysis)
Donor relationship, Primary immunosuppression,Duration of first graft and Scr level at 1 year
Renal retransplantation is the treatment of choice in patients who have lost their graft.
The use of related living-donors and potent immunosuppression could help to improve the outcome.
Surgical complications
No notable difference

Scand J Urol Nephrol. 2004;38(6):511-6Unilateral interruption of the internal iliac artery, an adequate penile blood supply is maintained in the majority of cases.
Noncompliance
2nd leading cause of allograft failureDonor organ scarce is an issue.Is retransplantation justifiable?
Noncompliance
52 of 3,525 transplants who had lost the first organ due to noncompliancePatients had to give a clear statement on compliance.16 retransplants
1 technical failure1 chronic rejection14 stable and compliant (mean followup 4.7 y).
Noncompliance is a potentially reversible cause for renal allograft loss.
Troppmann C et al. Transplantation 59;467,1995
Summary
Retransplantation : immunologically high riskOutcome of retransplantation may not be inferior to primary transplant.Function duration of first graft is considered to be a risk factor.Induction therapy (e.g., thymoglobulin) is recommended.Primary graft nephrectomy is controversial.Male sexual dysfunction can be an issue (esp., in case of bilateral internal iliac artery use).
