ABSTRACT

Objective: To inform on the first nine renal transplants performed in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, during a 10 years period.
Design: Retrospective, observational study.
Setting: Private hospital.
Patients and methods: From 1989 to 1999, nine renal transplants were performed from living donors. Patients have been followed until the end of 2000. All patients, recipients and donors, were included in a pretransplant assessment protocol. The following variables were analyzed: etiology of the renal failure, histocompatibility, surgical procedure, immunosuppression, results, complications, and follow-up.
Results: Nine men were transplanted, none had received a previous graft, six received the graft from a related living donor, and three from a living, emotionally related donor. The two main causes for the end-stage chronic renal failure were glomerulonephritis and diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Six were under a hemodialysis regime and three under a peritoneal dialysis regime. Mean age was of 49 years, ranging from 29 to 71. Morbidity consisted mainly in infection of the urinary tract and graft rejection; survival ranged from 1 month to 12 years 7 months. Three patients have died.
Conclusion: Renal transplant is the best therapeutic option for end-stage chronic renal failure.
