Kidney transplantation from brain-dead donors in Nepal: Report of first six cases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

and importance: Kidney transplantation is one of the best treatment options for patients with end-stage renal disease. More than 90% of patients awaiting renal transplantation die without getting the kidney for transplantation. Brain dead donor kidney transplantation can bridge this gap proficiently. We aim to report details of the first six patients who had undergone brain-dead donor kidney transplantation in the history of transplantation in Nepal.

Case presentation

We conducted a descriptive analysis of clinical data of six adult recipients with kidney transplantation from three brain-dead donors. We described postoperative complications, length of stay, graft function which was documented with serum creatinine, acute rejection episode, delayed graft function
