Infants (age, < 2 years) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have increased morbidity and mortality. We evaluated our long-term outcomes of kidney transplants (KTx) in infants.
Between 1984 and 2014, 136 infants underwent KTx. We examined trends in survival rates and complications by era (1984-1993 [era 1], 1994-2003 [era 2], 2004-2014 [era 3]).
Patients were 92.6% white and 70.6% males. Posttransplant (Tx) initial length of hospital stay declined 37% over the 30-year period (P <0.01). Ten-year death-censored graft survival improved from 60% (era 1) to 80% (era 2) (P = 0.04). The incidence of acute rejection, graft thrombosis, cytomegalovirus, and urine leaks did not significantly change across eras. Frequency of Epstein-Barr virus diagnosis (era 2 vs era 3, P < 0.01) increased. Post-Tx lymphoproliferative disorder incidence was increased in era 2 compared with eras 1 and 3 (P = 0.03).
Infants deserve earlier consideration for KTx. Length of initial hospital stay and patient and graft survival rates after KTx have improved in infants since 1984.
患有终末期肾病（ESRD）的婴儿（年龄<2 岁）发病率和死亡率较高。我们评估了婴儿肾移植（KTx）的长期结果。
1984 年至 2014 年间，136 名婴儿接受了 KTx。我们通过时代（1984-1993 年[时代 1]、1994-2003 年[时代 2]、2004-2014 年[时代 3]）检查了生存率和并发症的趋势。
患者 92.6%为白人，70.6%为男性。移植后（Tx）的初始住院时间在 30 年内下降了 37%（P<0.01）。10 年无死亡原因的移植物存活率从 60%（时代 1）提高到 80%（时代 2）（P=0.04）。急性排斥反应、移植物血栓形成、巨细胞病毒和尿液漏出的发生率在不同时代没有显著变化。EB 病毒诊断的频率（时代 2 与时代 3，P<0.01）增加。与时代 1 和 3 相比，时代 2 的移植后淋巴增殖性疾病发生率增加（P=0.03）。
婴儿应更早考虑接受 KTx。自 1984 年以来，婴儿 KTx 后的初始住院时间和患者及移植物存活率有所改善。
