[Clinical observation of 153 cases of live donor kidney transplantation].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the outcomes of live donor renal transplantation.


METHODS
The clinical data of 153 patients who had undergone live donor kidney transplantation in our center from March 1999 to July 2008 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.


RESULTS
Delayed graft function (DGF) occurred in 8 patients, among whom 5 cases of DGF were successfully reversed by conservative treatment, 2 recipients died of refractory rejection and cardiac infraction, and 1 graft was resected because of severe infection. Eight recipients died of infection, cardiovascular events, and cerebral events soon after transplantation. All the 153 patients were followed up, and the 6-month, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival number (and rates) were 139 (96.7% and 98.7%), 114 (94.7% and 98.7%), 62 (90.1% and 96.7%), and 36 (83.5% and 94.7%), respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
Live donor kidney transplantation plays an important role in the management of end stage renal disease, with satisfactory outcomes.
