[Cognated kidney allotransplantation in children]
Abstract:
47 children at the age from 7 months till 16 years in terminal stage of chronic renal failure underwent related kidney allotransplantation. Kidney donors were mother (25), father (10), grandmother (4), uncle (3), brother (3), cousin (1), grandfather (1). On purpose of evaluation of pretransplantation hemodialysis duration the patients were divided into 2 groups: 1) duration of dialysis 0-12 months, 2) duration of dialysis more than 12 months. Such characteristics as actuarial probability of survival, growth and weight dynamics in children were evaluated. The comparative analysis show that the weight and growth rate is higher in children from the first group. Five-year actuarial probability of survival was 94% in the first group and 85% in the second group (p<0.01). Thus the research results show that relative kidney transplantation is the optimum treatment mode for the children in terminal stage of chronic renal failure, contributes to treatment results improvement and reduction of pretransplantation hemodialysis duration.
