Kidney transplantation is associated with improved quality of life and better survival among patients with end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study is to assess the experience of kidney transplant program in a single center in Erbil, Iraq. The records of 83 pairs, donors and recipients, treated with kidney transplantation at the Zheen Hospital in Erbil, over a two-year period were collected and analyzed. The mean donor age was 28.5 +/- 7.34 years (range 19-49 years) and recipient age was 37.6 +/- 14.9 years (range 12-66 years). The male to female ratio was 6.5:1 among donors and 3.2:1 among recipients. Among the 83 pairs studied, the donors and recipients were genetically related in seven cases (8.5%) and emotionally related in one case (1.2%). Delayed graft function was seen in 3.2% of cases and acute rejection in 5.3% of cases. Graft survival at six months was 88% while patient survival at the same period was 90%. In conclusion, even though experience related to kidney transplantation in Erbil is limited, the reported results are encouraging for a promising future.
肾移植与终末期肾病患者生活质量的改善和更好的生存率相关。本研究的目的是评估伊拉克埃尔比勒一个单一中心的肾移植项目经验。收集并分析了在埃尔比勒的哲恩医院接受肾移植治疗的83对供体和受体在两年期间的记录。供体的平均年龄为28.5 +/- 7.34岁（范围19 - 49岁），受体年龄为37.6 +/- 14.9岁（范围12 - 66岁）。供体中男女比例为6.5:1，受体中为3.2:1。在研究的83对中，7例（8.5%）供体和受体有血缘关系，1例（1.2%）有情感关系。3.2%的病例出现移植肾功能延迟，5.3%的病例出现急性排斥反应。6个月时移植肾存活率为88%，同期患者存活率为90%。总之，尽管埃尔比勒与肾移植相关的经验有限，但报告的结果对充满希望的未来是令人鼓舞的。
