Nowadays, renal transplantation is the choice treatment in patients with renal failure. Cadaveric patients are the good candidates for these patients. In Mashhad, the first cadaveric renal transplantation was done in 2001 and before that year renal transplantation was done with alive related or unrelated donors. In this study we evaluate the results of graft and patient survival in these 3 groups.This is a descriptive study in Imam Reza Hospital from 2001 until 2003.302 patients between 6-68 years old (164 male and 138 female) are divided into 3 groups (less than 18 years old, between 18-45 years old, more than 45 years old). 190 patients receive the kidney from unrelated donor, 46 from related and 66 from cadaver. 278 patients receive the kidney for the first time, 23 patients for the second and 1 for the third time. In this study, whatever is effective in graft and patient survival, is the age of patients and the first or second time of renal transplantation. Other factors such as gender, the history of diseases, and the kind of renal transplant (alive or cadaver) is not important in graft and patient survival. This study in 1 and 3 years results of renal transplantation has tended to show that there is no difference between the patients who receive the kidney from related, unrelated or cadaver. In brief, cadaveric patients in our country is a good resource of renal transplantation.
