ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The present study aims to determine the clinical outcome of kidney transplantation and to provide data of long-term graft and patient survival.Methods:
Between 1969 and 2005, 1,500 kidney transplants were performed at the Kangnam st. Mary's hospital. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of kidney transplant recipients retrospectively.Results:
The mean follow-up period was 112 months. Chronic glomerulonephritis was the leading cause of primary renal diseases, but the proportion of has increased from 1 % before 1985 to 6% afterwards. First renal transplantation was 94.5% (n=1418), and retransplantation was 5.4% (n=82). Type of donor source was mostly living-related, with the recent decrease in the number of living- unrelated donors. Currently, 72l patients are alive with functioning grafts, 297 cases had graft failure, 277 cases died, 205 cases were transferred or lost during follow-up. Main cause of graft failure was chronic allograft nephropathy (n=316). Overall, 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year graft survival were 92%, 81%, 66%, and 29% respectively. 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year patient survival were 93%, 88%, 81%, and 69% respectively.Conclusion:
This review of 36-years experience in a single center showed that the graft survival has improved compared to the initial transplantation era.
