A cohort of 69 patients received a kidney transplant in the period 1963-1977. The mean observation time was 9.5 years. Accumulated follow-up time was 661.4 patients year. The mean (SE) 10-year survival was 55(5.9)%. Univariate analysis showed that female patients had poorer survival than male. Patients with a cadaveric donor had lower survival than those with a living donor. Also survival with different HLA-A,B match differed significantly. A multivariate analysis pinpointed nature of donor, cadaveric vs. living, as the sole independent predictor of mortality. Patients receiving a cadaveric kidney were on double (2.2) relative risk of mortality as compared to patients with a living donor. The major causes of death were infections during rejection treatment, and cardiovascular disease. Patients had low rates of morbidity. Our results showed satisfactory outcome of kidney transplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
