Abstract

Background
This study aims to present the clinical short-term outcome of kidney transplantation at a newly opened university hospital.
Methods
Between April 2019 and July 2022, a consecutive series of 64 kidney transplants were performed. We analyzed clinical characteristics and outcomes of kidney transplant recipients retrospectively.
Results
Of the 64 kidney transplantations, 57.8% were male recipients and 64.1% received a kidney from a male donor. The average recipient age was 54.1±9.9 years, and the mean follow-up duration was 14.3±10.5 months. Thirty-seven patients (57.8%) received a kidney from 33 deceased donors. After the exclusion of one graft nephrectomy due to antibody-mediated rejection with bleeding, seven grafts (11.1%) showed delayed graft function, while 56 grafts (88.9%) were early graft function. The mean modification of diet in renal disease glomerular filtration rate level at 7 days, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after trans-plantation were 55.5±32.7, 58.2±22.8, 64.6±25.2, and 57.6±30.9 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , respectively. The incidence of a biopsy proven acute rejection episode and cytomegalovirus infection were 26.6% (n=17) and 6.3% (n=4), respectively. Graft survival rates at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years posttransplantation were 98.4%, 98.4%, and 98.4%, respectively. Patient survival rates at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years posttransplantation were 98.4%, 96.8%, and 96.8%, respectively.
Conclusions
This review of 3-year experience in a newly opened KT program showed that the short-term graft survival was com-parable to the large-volume center.
