A total of 1,356 kidney transplants has been performed in the Hospital de Especialidades del Centro Médico Nacional de Occidente, IMSS, in Guadalajara Mexico, including 935 in the past 8 years. This represents an important increase of this activity in our country. Of the total transplants, 1,218 (90%) were from living donors and only 138 (10%) were from cadaveric donors, a number that we hope to increase.

- The study investigates the risk factors for renal graft loss in Mexico and Latin America, focusing on patients who received their first kidney transplants between 1976 and 1999.
- A total of 326 patients were analyzed, with key findings indicating that acute rejection episodes and lower HLA haplotype matching significantly predicted graft loss.
- Overall, while graft survival rates were similar to those in developed countries, the main risks identified for long-term failure were acute rejection and HLA mismatching.
