The primary outcome was patient survival and graft survival at 1, 3, and 5 years.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong>  A total of 136 kidney transplants were performed from January 2012 to September 2019; 29% (37) and 71% (89) were living and deceased donor ransplants. Patient survival rates were 96.8%, 96%, and 96% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Graft survival rates were 95.2%, 94.4%, and 92.9% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Traffic accident was the most common cause of death in the brain-dead donors. The most common cause of end-stage renal disease was biopsy proved IgA nephropathy. The most common early and late complications after transplant were delayed graft function and renal vascular complication, espectively. Infection was the most common cause of death in kidney transplant recipients.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong>  We have reported the total number, the graft and the patient survival data of kidney transplant recipients in Rajavithi Hospital from 2012 to 2019. Although the number of patients is lower than in other institutions in Thailand, and also in developed countries, the patient and the graft survival rates are comparable. Better outcomes were found in living donor transplants.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Insight Urology}, author={Paisankit, Siwat and Wongwattanasatien, Nattapong and Choonhaklai, Vorapot and Pumpaisanchai, Somkiat and Thaidumrong, Tanet and Kosrisirikul, Chawawat and Sindhubodee, Sermsin and Huabkong, Matchima}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={29–35} }
