title: Cadaver transplantation in Recent Era: Is Cadaveric Graft Survival Similar to Living Kidney Transplantation?
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Renal transplantation is the procedure of choice for most of patients with end-stage renal disease. The graft, however can be procured from either cadaver or living donors.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To compare graft and patient survival among patients who underwent kidney transplantation from cadaver donor vs. living donor.
  
  
  METHODS
  From April 2002 to February 2010, we performed 138 cadaver kidney transplantations. We reviewed and compared one-year graft and patient survival with 138 living kidney transplantations.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One-year graft and patient survivals in cadaveric groups were 93% and 96%, respectively, and in living groups were 92% and 97%, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was no significant difference in one-year graft and patient survival between living and cadaver donor kidney transplantation.
