Kidney Transplantation at Suratthani Hospital
Keywords:
Kidney transplantation, live donor, graft survivalAbstract
Background and objective: Kidney transplantation is associated with improved quality of life and better survivalamong patients with end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study is to assess the experience of Suratthani Hospital’s
kidney transplant program which began in 2008.
Materials and Methods: The records of 8 pairs of donors and recipients who received kidney transplants over
a 5-year period were collected and analyzed. All received kidneys from live donors.
Results: The mean donor age was 39.3 ± 8.8 years (range, 28 to 53 years) and the mean recipient age was 32.0
± 9.3 years (range, 21 to 48 years). There were 4 male donors (50%) and 4 female donors (50%), while the 8 recipients
included 6 males (75%) and 2 females (25%). The donors were siblings of the recipients in 3 cases (37.5%), parents in
3 cases (37.5%), a relative in 1 case (12.5%) and a spouse in 1 case (12.5%). No acute graft rejection was seen in all cases.
One case had delayed graft function due to CMV infection. Graft survival was 100%. One recipient died three years after
transplantation from unknown cause, but the kidneys were working well for the other seven cases. Six recipients
developed post transplant infections, including urinary tract infection, varicella, herpes zoster, tuberculosis and CMV
infection.
Conclusion: Even though the experience with kidney transplantation in Suratthani is limited, the reported results
are encouraging and offer a promising option for people with kidney disease on dialysis who live in the upper southern
Thailand.
