AIM

This study was undertaken to evaluate the outcome of spousal donation kidney transplants

MATERIALS & METHODS

Retrospective analysis of data from spousal kidney transplantation(Tx) done between Sep 2008- Nov 2010 in the Department of Nephrology, Madras Medical College.We got approval from Hospital ethical committee.We compared the data with live related ( non spousal) transplantation of our department. The patient and graft survival were calculated with Kaplan–Meier analysis. Death of recipient due to any cause was counted as graft loss. Determinants analyzed -Donor age,Donor-recipient age difference,Donor GFR,Ischemia time,Immunosuppressive protocols, incidence of acute rejection episodes & effect of early acute rejection episodes on graft function at 6 months & one year were analysed
