Özet
Because of the organ shortage, the number of patients awaiting kidney transplantation has increased rapidly requiring physicians to implement new methods to increase the number of grafts. In this study, we compared clinical and biochemical parameters of patients who received kidneys from hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (group 1) versus other living related kidney donors (group 2). The study included 414 female (15 group 1 and 399 group 2) and 816 male (20 group 1 and 796 group 2) donors for 1195 living related kidney transplantations performed between April 21, 2008 and March 1, 2011. Group 1 kidney transplantations were undertaken only if the recipient displayed a hepatitis B antibody titer >10 mIU/mL and donor hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA was negative. Demographic characteristics, 1- and 2-year serum creatinine levels, glomerular filtration rates (GFR), and liver function test results were similar between the 2 groups. There were no new HBV infections throughout the study period. Acute rejection rates (7/35 in group 1 vs 232/1195 in group 2; P = .988), graft loss (1/35 in group 1 vs 55/1195 in group 2; P = .624), and patient loss (0/35 in group 1 vs 34/1195; P = .311) were similar between the 2 groups. Our study showed that hepatitis B surface antigen positivity was not a contraindication to living kidney donation.
