Abstract

Background: Renal transplantation is the end of renal failure treatment in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). It is a well-known model of renal eplacement therapy for end-stage renal disease patients in developed and developing countries. This model of treatment has widely been used in our country in recent years. The present study was undertaken to investigate the long tome complications and survival time of transplanted kidney in Alzahra hospital, Isfahan.Methods: In a cross sectional study long time complications of kidney transplantation such as infection, cardial and renal were studied .This retrospective study reviewed patient population in terms of age, sex, etiology of transplantation reject, using corticosteroid drugs and survival time for new kidney. The data recorded in special questionnaire and entered to computer and analyzed by SPSS software. The chi square, paired-t, and Kaplan Meyer tests were used for data analysis.Finding: 130 patients (42 women, 88 men) who had been under kidney transplantation were studied between Jan. 1382 and Jan.1385. The patients mean age was 46.3 ± 14.5 years. The frequency distribution of long time complications of transplantation include renal, cardiac and infection were 10%, 3.1%, and 36.9% respectively.Conclusion: Kidney transplantation is a method of choice for treating of ESRD patients. The most common cause for discontinuing renal efficacy is long time complication specially infection in transplantation site.
