Summary: | Abstract
To analyze the clinical profile and outcome of pediatric patients who had undergone a liver and/or
RT
at our center over a five yr period, case records of all the patients who had undergone a liver or
RT
were analyzed retrospectively. One hundred solid organ transplants were performed at our center between January 2007 and January 2012. These included 50 liver, 44 renal, one sequential liver and renal, and two
CLKT
.
BA
was the most common indication for an
LT
(38%). At a median follow‐up of two yr three months, the patient survival was 88%. The most common indication for an
RT
was chronic glomerulonephritis (54.5%). At a median follow‐up of three yr, the survival was 91%. The
CLKT
were performed for hyperoxaluria. Two yr post
LT
, a sequential
RT
was performed for
ESRD
resulting from transplant associated microangiopathy. All patients received a living related graft. The common post‐operative complications were infections, vascular complications, and graft dysfunction. Survival rates for liver and
RT
at our center are comparable to those in the established centers in the West. |
