- Abstract: To summarize and analyze the clinical data of one case of kidney transplantation in an HIV-positive child with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the Department of Transplantation, the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and to explore the safety and efficacy of kidney transplantation in HIV-positive children with ESRD. This pediatric recipient was found to be HIV-positive at birth and underwent kidney transplantation due to ESRD, with good postoperative recovery. During the 2.5-year follow-up, no rejection or rebound in HIV RNA levels was observed. The function of the transplanted kidney was good, and the quality of life was comparable to that of healthy individuals. It suggests that kidney transplantation in HIV-positive children with ESRD is safe and effective under adequate preoperative preparation and close postoperative follow-up.
