ABSTRACT
In this first report on the experience with renal transplantation in children and adolescents in southern Iran during the past five years, thirty-two patients [aged 5-19 years old; 18 males, 14 females] received renal allografts. Pretransplantation pathologic diagnoses by kidney biopsy were; membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [MPGN], rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis [RPGN], chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, reflux nephropathy, obstructive uropathy and renal tubular acidosis [RTA]. The cause of ESRD was unknown in eleven cases. Overall one year graft survival was 89%, 71% at two years, and 50% at four years. The overall patient survival at one year was 93% and at two years, 86%. Well-being and remarkable improvement of physical, emotional, biochemical and endocrinological impairment were noticeable in 74% of the patients. No recurrence of primary disease was detected during the study period
