Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for selected end-stage renal patients. The shortage of cadaveric organs for transplantation has led to the development of a protocol for kidney transplantation from living, related donors. In the past 20 years, 58 living, related kidney transplantations were done in our department. Mean patient age was 30 +/- 10 (SD) years and mean donor age was 36 +/- 10. There were 34 transplantations between brothers or sisters, 15 from parent to child, 4 between cousins, 4 between spouses and 1 from son to father. Mean follow-up time was 4 years. 1 and 5 years after transplantation, patient survival rates were 85% and 80%, respectively, graft survival rates were 85% and 75%. The introduction of cyclosporin-A as an immunosuppressive agent in 1985 led to improvement in graft survival rates: from 77% and 51% after 1 and 5 years, respectively, to 88% and 84%. No correlation between HLA match or patient's age and graft survival rates was found. We conclude that living, related donor transplantation is effective for suitable cases of end-stage renal disease. It should be recommended to patients who have a healthy, interested family member.
