Preliminary Results of a Newly Established Organ Transplantation Program in a Teaching Hospital.

Objectives: End-stage renal disease is the complete failure of kidney function; kidney transplant offers the best survival advantage. We analyzed data from Al-Basheer Hospital's newly established transplant program and present our kidney transplant results from the first year of operation.

Materials And Methods: Between April 2015 and June 2016, 20 kidney transplants were performed (19 living-related donors and 1 deceased donor).
