Long-Term Kidney Transplant Graft Survival: Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: We aimed to examine kidney transplant graft survival over 10 years using retrospective analysis.

Materials And Methods: Deidentified data of 429 patients extracted from the institution's statistical database were analyzed using descriptive statistics methods and analysis of variance.

Results: Graft survival rates at 3, 5, and 10 years were 89.8%, 84.1%, and 81.3%, respectively. Main causes of graft loss were death with a functioning kidney graft and chronic graft nephropathy.

Conclusions: In this study, 3-, 5-, and 10-year graft survival rates were satisfactory and similar to the results of other single-center studies in the world. The best survival was observed 3 years after the transplant procedure.
