[Clinical observation of 153 cases of live donor kidney transplantation].

AbstractOBJECTIVE:
To investigate the outcomes of live donor renal transplantation.
METHODS:
The clinical data of 153 patients who had undergone live donor kidney transplantation in our center from March 1999 to July 2008 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS:
Delayed graft function (DGF) occurred in 8 patients, among whom 5 cases of DGF were successfully reversed by conservative treatment, 2 recipients died of refractory rejection and cardiac infraction, and 1 graft was resected because of severe infection. Eight recipients died of infection, cardiovascular events, and cerebral events soon after transplantation. All the 153 patients were followed up, and the 6-month, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival number (and rates) were 139 (96.7% and 98.7%), 114 (94.7% and 98.7%), 62 (90.1% and 96.7%), and 36 (83.5% and 94.7%), respectively.
CONCLUSION:
Live donor kidney transplantation plays an important role in the management of end stage renal disease, with satisfactory outcomes.
