Summary
Renal transplantation outcomes in Bombay were unsatisfactory, with significantly lower patient and graft survival rates compared to European centers. This highlights challenges in living unrelated donor kidney transplants in the region.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Transplant Surgery
- Public Health
Context:
- Living unrelated donor kidney transplantation in Bombay.
- Limited pre-transplantation processing and short-term hemodialysis treatment in most patients.
- Varied pre-transplant renal function, including advanced insufficiency in some cases.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the outcomes of renal transplantation from living unrelated donors in Bombay.
- To compare these outcomes with established international standards, specifically European centers.
Summary:
- Fifteen patients (7 female, 8 male, aged 17-52) underwent renal transplantation from living unrelated donors.
- High rates of infection were observed as a primary complication.
- A three-year follow-up revealed unsatisfactory patient and graft survival rates, significantly lower than in Europe.
Impact:
- Identifies critical areas for improvement in renal transplantation protocols in Bombay.
- Underscores the need for enhanced pre-transplantation care and management of complications.
- Provides a benchmark for future studies and interventions to improve kidney transplant success rates in the region.
