ABSTRACT
In a state-funded, live related-donor kidney transplantation programme, 616 eligible end stage renal failure (ESRF) patients were seen over a four-year period. 73% of them had potential related donors, 64% of whom were willing to donate. Fear of surgery, non-congenial pre-morbid relationships and discouragement by family members were the most common reasons for unwillingness to donate. After investigations, 76% of the willing donors were found to be fit. ABO incompatibility, lymphocyte cross-match positivity and anatomic abnormalities were the most common grounds for non-acceptance. Sixty eight percent of the willing, fit donors finally donated their kidneys, patient-death and donor-recipient withdrawal before surgery accounting for the remaining. One hundred and forty eight patients underwent renal transplantation. Two-thirds of the donors were females, mothers (37%) forming the single largest group. Eight five percent of the recipients were males. Overall, only 35% of the eligible ESRF patients had related, willing and fit donors attesting to the need for an active, cadaver-donor transplantation programme.
