Approximately one sixth of patients receiving renal transplants have a functioning kidney beyond 20 years. Chronic rejection is the predominant cause of late allograft loss. Malignancy, cardiovascular disease, hepatic failure, and infections are the major causes of late death. Early detection and control of the risk factors that contribute to patient death should favorably influence the long-term success of renal transplantation.
接受肾移植的患者中约六分之一拥有一个功能良好的肾脏超过20年。慢性排斥是晚期移植物丢失的主要原因。恶性肿瘤、心血管疾病、肝衰竭和感染是晚期死亡的主要原因。早期发现并控制导致患者死亡的危险因素应能对肾移植的长期成功产生积极影响。
