Five Years Allograft Survival of Renal Transplants: A Single Center Study

Dear Editor, Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for vast majority of patients with end-stage renal disease. Marked improvements in early graft survival and graft function have resulted in kidney transplantation being a cost-effective alternative to dialysis. Among the most age groups and etiologies of end-stage renal disease, renal transplantation prolongs patient lifespan. Accord...

"results of 1020 renal transplants: single center experience "

from 1986 to 1996, 1020 renal transplants were performed at our center. the purposes of this study were. 1) to evaluate the patient and graft survival rates and 2) to see if some donors and recipient characteristics such as age, sex and relationship had any effects on graft survivals. 571 transplants were from living related donors (lrd) and 446 from living unrelated donors (lud). 65.9% of reci...

Association of CCR5-59029 A/G and CCR2-V64I Variants with Renal Allograft Survival

Background: Despite advances in the medical care of renal transplant recipients which have led to an improvement in allograft survival, renal allograft rejection is still a major ob-stacle to successful organ transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to allograft rejection will be of great importance for the development of efficient antirejection strategies. Objective: The aim ...

favorable renal allograft and patient outcome after transplantation in patients with diabetes mellitus: a five-year single center experience

Pediatric renal transplantation: a single center experience over 14 years.

Between 1989 and 2003, 100 transplants were performed in 96 patients at the pediatric nephrology unit of the Calvo Mackenna Children's Hospital. Mean age 10.9 +/- 3.9 yr (1-17.6), 30% from LD. Donors were younger than 5 yr in five patients and all recipients received an 'en bloc' graft. Original disease was hypo/dysplasia 27%, reflux nephropathy 22 and 17% chronic glomerulonephritis. The immuno...

Renal transplant survival from older donors: a single center experience.

HYPOTHESIS Despite the observation that kidney transplantations from older donors have an increased risk of failure, the percentage of kidney donors 55 years and older has increased. We explored the risk of allograft failure in a single transplantation center with older (55-79 years) vs younger (18-54 years) donors. DESIGN Retrospective cohort review with a mean follow-up of 32 months. SETT...
