[Kidney allotransplantation from alive related donor in patients with Alport syndrome].

ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the results of kidney transplantation from alive related donor in patients with Alport syndrome and to compare with those in patients with kidney hypoplasia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have analyzed 8 and 27 medical records of patients with Alport syndrome and kidney hypoplasia respectively. Following parameters were used - Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Wilcox overall risk, percentage of transplants loss and mortality (Fisher's exact test calculation). RESULTS: It is concluded that percentage of transplants loss and mortality rate as well as overall survival and risk were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: Despite risk of anti-GBM nephritis development in patients with Alport syndrome results are comparable with those after transplatation for chronic renal failure caused by other reasons.
