Abstract

Recently, many international studies have suggested that pediatric patients from diverse ethnic origins confront unique challenges for transplantation. Data concerning the efficacy and safety of transplantation for various pediatric renal transplant populations remains limited and are often confounded by immunosuppressive protocols. In one study, we aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of renal transplants in Jordanian children in comparison with groups of different nationalities. We retrospectively retrieved data for 34 Jordanian children who received kidney transplants from living donors between January 2003 and January 2009. Subsequently, we continued to follow-up with these selected patients at scheduled clinic visits to prospectively collect long-term data for a period of approximately 22 months±15 months. The patients included in this study ranged between 4 years and 19 years of age. The male/female ratio was 0.79. Glumerulonephritis (35.3%) was the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in the sample of this study; 23.5% had received a preemptive transplant. All patients also received triple immunosuppressive therapy, consisting of tacrolimus (TAC), prednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil (n=26) or a...Continue Reading
