Long-Term (≥25 Years) Kidney Allograft Survivors: Retrospective Analysis at a Single Center.

Introduction: Despite great improvements in the short-term patient and kidney graft survival, the long-term morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients still remains a significant problem. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of both donor and transplant recipient factors, as well as renal function indices on the very long-term (>25 years) kidney allograft survival.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 41 kidney transplant recipients (KTR), group A: follow-up = 25 years, 20 KTR, 10 male, mean age (mean [M] ± standard deviation [SD]): 34.

New-Onset Diabetes After Transplantation: Comparison Between a Cyclosporine-Based and a Tacrolimus-Based Immunosuppressive Regimen.

Introduction: New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a complication of renal transplantation (RT) with an adverse effect on graft survival.

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to compare modifiable or non-modifiable clinical and laboratory parameters as well as the course of patients and transplants between 2 groups of RT recipients with NODAT in relation to the use of either a cyclosporine-based (group A) or a tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen (group B).

Materials And Methods: Retrospectively comparing 66 renal transplant recipients with NODAT, multiple clinical, and laboratory parameters were investigated.
