Abstract:
BACKGROUND: This study aims to report clinical outcome and long term graft and patient survival rate of one thousand kidney transplantation. We analyzed risk factors that impact on graft survival in the 1,000 case of kidney transplantation through this study. METHODS: We have performed 1,000 cases of kidney transplantation in Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea from February 1995 to January 2008. We retrospectively reviewed medical record of recipients and donors. RESULTS: The mean follow up period was 69 months. Composition of type of donor was living donor, 653 cases and deceased donor, 347 cases. Type of donor source was mostly living-related type. 94 cases had graft failure. Major cause of graft failure was chronic allograft nephropathy. And major viral infection was cytomegalovirus infection. Major non-viral infection was urinary tract infection. 47 cases of immediate post operative complication was diagnosed as lymphocele. Overall 10-year graft survival rate was 83.9% respectively. 10-year patient survival rate was 95.7% respectively. 10-year graft survival and patient survival of recipient were significantly different between living donation group and deceased donation group. CONCLUSIONS: In this report, only two risk factor were statically significant difference.
