- Abstract
Objective: End-stage renal failure is quite common in the community with pronounced morbidity and mortality. Kidney transplantation is an effective treatment option in patients with renal insufficiency as it improves quality of life and survival. The aim of this study is to evaluate the first results in currently introduced kidney transplant center. Materials and Methods: Between April 2019 and October 2019, 20 patients who were transplanted due to kidney failure at the Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital Kidney Transplant Center were evaluated retrospectively. The demographic characteristics of the patients and donors were recorded and the laboratory results before and after the operation were evaluated. Acute complications of posttransplantation were recorded. The data were evaluated by appropriate statistical method (overall ± standard deviation and median (min, max)). Results: The average age of kidney recipients was 46.10 ± 11.52 years, BMI was 27.00 ± 6.00, and 40% were female and 60% were male. Average serum creatinine after the operation of patients who were transplanted 1.day: 3.10 ± 1.60 mg / dl, 7.day: 1,17±0,36 mg / dl, 3.month: 1,07±0,26 mg / dl, 6th month: 1,10±0,28 mg / dl. Conclusion: The short-term results of kidney transplantation performed in patients with end-stage renal failure appear to be successful. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is the first choice approach in appropriate donors. Performing kidney transplantation as much as possible to patients with end-stage renal failure is the recommended treatment method in terms of both patient survival and economic costs.
