Impact of allograft weight and the recipient’s body weight on long-term allograft function

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship of the renal allograft weight and the recipient’s body weight with allograft function after transplantation.Methods The correlation of the renal allograft weight, the recipient’s body weight, the ratio of the allograft weight to the recipient body weight and the mean serum creatinine (sCr) 3 years after transplantation were measured in 108 kidney recipients.Results The allograft weight was inversely correlated with the mean sCr 3 years after transplantation (P<0.01).Conclusion The renal allograft weight, recipient’s body weight and the ratio of allograft weight to recipient’s body weight are important indicators of the long-term allograft function after transplantation, and recipients with greater body weight should receive allografts of higher weight.
