The Effect of Body Mass Index on Patient and Graft Survival Rate in Kidney Transplanted Patients in Iran

Abstract

Background: The number of patients with overweight and obesity requiring renal transplant in the past 2 decades increased considerably. Objectives: The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of body mass index (BMI) on graft and patients survival rate. Design: In the current retrospective, cross sectional study, transplant recipients were divided into 3 groups based on their BMI: group 1 (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 ), group 2 (BMI = 18.5 to 25 kg/m 2 ), and group 3 (BMI > 25 kg/m 2 ). Kaplan-Meier formula was used to calculate

Graft and Patient Survival Rate among Iranian Pediatric Recipients of Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…The end stage renal disease is irreversible impairment of renal function, to the point that the patient becomes permanently dependent on alternative therapies, especially in children ( 1 , 3 ). Kidney transplantation is one of the most effective treatments for patients with advanced kidney disease ( 3 ).…”

“…Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) involves a range of different pathophysiological processes associated with abnormal renal function and progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate ( 1 , 2 ). The end stage renal disease is irreversible impairment of renal function, to the extent that the patient becomes permanently dependent on alternative therapies, especially in children ( 1 , 3 ). The incidence rate of chronic kidney disease among children in Iran is 16.8 per million, and the rate of kidney transplantation among children is 7.2 per million ( 4 ).…”

“…The incidence rate of chronic kidney disease among children in Iran is 16.8 per million, and the rate of kidney transplantation among children is 7.2 per million ( 4 ). Treatment options in patients with the end-stage renal disease include hemodialysis and kidney transplantation ( 1 ). Since kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease ( 5 – 10 ), it is considered the most effective treatment for end-stage renal disease in many cases ( 11 ).…”

Graft and Patient Survival Rates in Kidney Transplantation, and Their Associated Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health concern which includes a range of different pathophysiological processes with abnormal renal function and progressive decrease in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ( 1 , 2 ). Additionally, as one of the debilitating diseases with a high mortality rate, the incidence of CKD is increasing worldwide ( 1 , 3 ).…”

Additionally, as one of the debilitating diseases with a high mortality rate, the incidence of CKD is increasing worldwide ( 1 , 3 ). The term End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an irreversible impairment of kidney function that leads to permanently dependent on alternative therapies such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and renal transplantation ( 4 – 6 ).…”
