[Long-term results after kidney transplantation].

A Rost, M Molzahn, W Brosig

    Der Urologe. Ausg. A

    PubMed
    Summary

    Kidney transplant survival rates improved significantly from 1970-1981 due to advances in immunology and immunosuppression. Long-term patient survival after transplantation surpasses hemodialysis outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation immunology
    • Clinical outcomes research

    Context:

    • Long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation are crucial for patient management.
    • Comparing institutional results with international data provides valuable insights.
    • Evaluating survival rates and transplant function is essential for assessing treatment efficacy.

    Purpose:

    • To compare institutional kidney transplant outcomes with existing literature.
    • To analyze the impact of recent advancements on patient and graft survival.
    • To assess the long-term efficacy of kidney transplantation versus hemodialysis.

    Summary:

    • This study analyzed 217 kidney transplant cases, reporting 5-year and 9-year patient survival rates of 58% and 45%, respectively, with a 9-year graft survival rate of 38%.
    • Results indicate that long-term patient survival post-transplantation is superior to hemodialysis.
    • Analysis across different time periods (1970-1981) reveals continuous improvement in survival rates.

    Impact:

    • Improved patient and graft survival rates are attributed to reduced surgical complications and enhanced understanding of transplantation immunology (HLA matching, blood transfusions) and immunosuppression (steroid reduction, ATG, cyclosporine A).
    • These findings highlight the evolving success of kidney transplantation as a treatment modality.
    • The study provides evidence for the benefits of advancements in immunosuppressive therapies and immunological matching.
