A leap toward brighter future – deceased-donor renal transplantation: Three years of experience in Sawai Man Singh Hospital, Jaipur, India

Introduction: Deceased-donor renal transplants can help cope up with the increasing demand of renal allografts in India. We evaluated the outcomes of deceased-donor renal transplantation at our center. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the donor and recipient characteristics along with graft and patient survival in deceased-donor renal transplant recipients at our center between April 2011 and October 2021. Results: The mean age of recipients (n = 21) and deceased donors was 48 ± 9.4 and 39.3 ± 8.7 years, respectively. Male:female ratio among recipients was 1.6:1 while that in donors was 2:1. Chronic glomerulonephritis (71.4%) was the most common native kidney disease. Most patients received antithymocyte globulin (80.9%) as induction and tacrolimus-based triple-drug regimen (80.4%) as maintenance therapy. The median follow-up duration was 32.8 months. Graft dysfunction was reported in 57.1% (n = 12/21) patients; acute tubular necrosis was the most common reason (n = 5). Six patients died, and sepsis was the most common reason for death (n = 3/6; 50%); 66.7% (n = 4/6) deaths occurred within the first 6 months. The mean graft survival time was 106.2 months (95% confidence interval: 95.4–116.6). The cumulative proportion of graft survival was 95.2% (n = 20/21) at 3 and 5 years. The cumulative proportion of patient survival was 80.9% at 3 years and 76.2% at 5 years. Conclusion: Patient outcomes over 5 years follow-up were good and suggest that deceased-donor transplants should be encouraged along with living-donor transplants to cover the huge demand–supply mismatch in renal replacement therapy.
