| Abstrakt: | Objectives: Renal transplant is the criterion standard for treatment of end-stage renal disease. The effects of disparities between men and women on renal transplant outcomes have been evaluated in many studies but with debatable results. It has been suggested that female kidney donors have poor outcomes after transplant compared with male kidney donors, especially when implanted in a male recipient. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of sex on living-donor kidney transplant outcome. Materials and Methods: The data of 979 patients who underwent living-donor kidney transplant from January 2000 to December 2010 at a single center were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to recipient and donor sex: male donor-to-male recipient (n = 307), male donor-to-female recipient (n = 132), female donor-to-male recipient (n = 411), and female donor-to-female recipient (n = 129). We compared the demographic characteristics, posttransplant rejection and complications, and graft and patient survival rates among the groups. Results: Male recipients were older than female recipients, whereas male donors were younger than female donors (P < .001). No statistically significant differences were shown regarding recipient body mass index, ischemia time and time to diuresis, and acute and chronic rejection rates between the groups. Graft (P = .947) and patient (P = .421) survival rates were comparable between groups. Conclusions: Donor and recipient sex had no significant effect on outcomes of living-donor renal allograft recipients. |
