THE EVALUATION OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION RESULTS IN HBS AG POSITIVE OR ANTI HCV AB POSITIVE PATIENTS

We evaluate the results and complications of renal transplantation in HbsAg or HCV positive patients retrospectively. Results: A total of 42 patients have HbsAg positive and 11 patients have HCV positive. In HbsAg positive patients, chronic rejection in 9 cases (21.4%)+ malignant lymphoma of liver in one case (2.3%) liver cirrhosis in 2 cases (4.7%)chronic active hepatitis in one case (2.3%) hepatic encephalopathy in one case (2.3%) mortality rate in 7 cases (16%) were occurred. The one+ five and ten years graft and patient survival rates were 85.3%+ 68.2% - 58.5% and 95.1%+ 87.8% + 87.8% respectively. In HCV positive patients, chronic rejection in 5 cases (45.4%)and hepatitis in one case (9%) were occurred. The one and five-year graft and patient survival rates were 87.5% + 62.5% and 100% respectively. In HbsAg negative and HCV negative patients, the one five and ten years graft and patient survival rates were 87.2%, 66.2%, 49.8% and 92.8%+ 83.7% + 73.3% respectively. Conclusion: HbsAg positive or HCV positive recipients could undergo renal transplantation with comparable results to other patients.
