Renal transplant services have been provided by the Hamed Al-Essa Organ Transplant Center in Ibn Sina Hospital since 1979 for Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaiti citizens residing in Kuwait. We aimed to monitor the activity and outcome of annual renal transplants in 2015.Data on transplant patients were collected from hospital records from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, at Ibn Sina Hospital.Eighty-one patients underwent a renal transplant in Kuwait in 2015; 46 patients (56.8%) were male and 35 (43.2%) were female. Of these 81 patients, 24 (29.6%) received a kidney from a deceased donor, 19 (23.5%) received a kidney from a living-unrelated donor, and 38 (46.9%) received a kidney from a living-related donor. Thirty-four patients (41.98%) who were highly sensitized immunologically underwent successful desensitization before transplant according the local protocol; 13 (38.2%) of these patients were male and 21 (61.8%) were female. Two patients (2.47%) experienced acute rejection within the first week after transplant. One diabetic female patient underwent a successful simultaneous deceased-donor kidney and pancreas transplant. Seventy-nine patients who underwent a transplant outside of Kuwait in 2015 were added to the follow-up list; 62 (78%) of these patients were male and 17 (22%) were female. Of these 79 patients, 31 patients (39%) received a kidney from a living-related donor, 45 (57%) received a kidney from a living-unrelated donor, and 3 (4%) received a kidney from a deceased donor. In addition, 303 patients were assessed for fitness for kidney transplant; 204 (67.3%) of these patients were male and 99 (32.7%) were female. Eight (2.6%) patients were not placed on the waiting list for a kidney transplant for medical reasons.A total of 81 patients underwent a renal transplant in Kuwait in 2015, only 2 (2.47%) of whom experienced acute rejection in the first week after transplant. |
