In the present single center study, we analyzed 277 kidney transplant patients (procedures performed between February 1984 and February 2006) to determine the impact of long-term dialysis on kidney transplant outcomes. Forty-four had been treated prior to renal transplantation with dialysis for more than 10 years (range, 10.0-32.5 years, average, 16.6 years; Group I), while the remaining 233 recipients showed an average end-stage renal disease period of 2.8 years (range, 0-9.8 years; Group II). There were no significant differences in patient survivals between the 2 groups: 97.3% vs 97.4% at 1 year; 85.7% vs 92.4% at 5 years; 85.7% vs 90.7% at 10 years (P = .2347). Five Group I patients died: 2 from infections, 2 from liver dysfunction, and 1 from cerebral bleeding. These causes of death were similar to those among Group II patients. Graft survival was not significantly different between the 2 groups: 95% vs 88.8% at 1 year; 75.5% vs 76.5% at 5 years; 75.5% vs 65.5% at 10 years (P = .6264). Our results suggested that dialysis treatment for more than 10 years did not have negative effects on posttransplantation patient and graft survival.
