Abstract:
The effect of living kidney transplantation between identical twins is satisfied, but it is rarely reported. From October 2019 to February 2021, two recipients received kidney transplantation from their twin sisters in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The primary disease of the two recipients was acute glomerulonephritis in 1 case and diabetic nephropathy in 1 case. Two recipients received tacrolimus/cyclosporine+ mortemycophenol ester+ methylprednisolone after surgery. The patients were followed up for 3.0 and 1.5 years, respectively, with renal function recovering well.
