Outcomes of pediatric deceased donor kidney transplant in northeast Thailand.

Background: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the best therapy in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), however, improving long-term graft survival remains challenging. The aim of this study was to determine graft survival and potential risk factors in pediatric patients who undergo deceased donor KT with a steroid-based regimen.

Methods: The medical records of children who underwent their first deceased donor KT in Srinagarind Hospital (Khon Kaen, Thailand) between 2001 and 2020 were reviewed.
