Long-term outcome of renal transplantation: a 10-year follow-up of 765 recipients.
Renal transplantation is a treatment of choice for patients with end‑stage renal disease. The main goal of transplant care is to achieve the best long‑term patient survival (PS) and graft survival (GS). ⋯ The effect of IS protocols on long‑term outcomes varies depending on patient subpopulations. Immunosuppressive therapy solves rejection‑related problems but does not address the increasing mortality of RTRs due to cardiovascular diseases, malignancies, or infections. Therefore, treatment recommendations should be individualized and posttransplant care, provided mainly by internists, should be carefully structured to improve long‑term outcomes of renal transplantation.
