ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The organized nephrological care in Szombathely commenced its activities in 1976. AIM: Follow-up of our patients who has undergone a kidney transplantation. METHOD: We used the local and national databases. RESULTS: 213 patients (7 preemptive, 206 dialyzed) had 240 renal transplantations. Only 11 of them were living organ donation. Between 69 transplantations (Tx) were carried out between 1976-1995, and 163 Tx were done in the second 20 years. 122 patients (57%) are still alive (the average survival of these patients in renal replacement therapy - RRT - are 11.4 years), and 7 of them had transplantation between 1976-1995. The longest survival time was 35.1 years. Prevalence of patients on RRT at the end of 2016 was 1367 pmp in our county (32.5% living with functioning graft). CONCLUSIONS: Number of transplanted patients has grown in the last decade. Proportion of living organ donation was minimal. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(25) 984-991.
