Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the outcomes of kidney transplants with 6 antigen HLA mismatches in 33 recipients between 1990 and 2001.
- Despite the high mismatch, one-year patient and graft survival rates were 93.3% and 93.7%, respectively, with 94% of grafts functioning immediately post-transplant.
- Over a mean follow-up of 3.31 years, 30% of grafts were lost, primarily due to patient death with a functioning graft and chronic rejection, but no grafts were lost to acute rejection.
Purpose: Access related problems in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are increased in cases of spina bifida due to vascular and body habitus limitations. Reports of renal transplantation in this patient group are exceedingly rare. We report long-term followup data on cadaveric renal transplantation for end stage renal failure in cases of spina bifida.
