Abstract
BackgroundKidney transplantation is the most preferred type of renal displacement therapy for end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. More patients developed ESRD. The most important source is the donations from unrelated spouses. In this study, we aimed to compare the transplantation data obtained from the spouses of the patients with the transplantation data obtained from other relatives.MethodsThe data including 167 living kidney transplantations performed between January 2006 and December 2019 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into two groups; spousal donor group (n: 53) and living-related donor group (n: 114).ResultsThere was no significant difference in delayed graft function in both groups. There were no patients with acute rejection proven by biopsy or considered biochemically in the spousal donor group. With regard to 3-year results in the living-related donor group the patient survival rate was 100%, while it was 98.2% in terms of graft survival.ConclusionsIn conclusion, similar patient and graft survival rates between spousal donor kidney transplantation and living-related kidney transplantation has made spousal donor kidney transplantation, with possible problems in terms of tissue compatibility, an acceptable alternative to donor supply.
Highlights
The number of patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing, in which kidney transplantation is the most common type of renal replacement therapy
Materials and methods Data related to 169 living kidney transplants performed between January 2006 and December 2019 were collected retrospectively, and the cases were divided into spousal donor transplant (n = 53) and living-related donor transplant (n = 116) groups
Biopsy-proven acute rejection was detected in only one patient in the living-related donor transplant group
Summary
The number of patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing, in which kidney transplantation is the most common type of renal replacement therapy. As more patients develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [1], the issues faced in identifying donor organs lead to problems, increasing the number of cadaveric transplants. The donor organs come primarily from living donors, among which living-related donors (LRDs) remain the main source. Donations by relatives of up to the fourth. Kidney transplantation is the most preferred type of renal displacement therapy for end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The most important source is the donations from unrelated spouses. We aimed to compare the transplantation data obtained from the spouses of the patients with the transplantation data obtained from other relatives
