Summary
Introduction. Significant improvements in patient and graft survival and reductions in the frequency of acute rejection were obtained in the early period after renal transplantation, but this success was not sufficiently reflected in the long term. Allograft kidney losses in the long term remain a significant problem. In this study, we investigated the specific causes of graft losses in patients who had a good clinical course in the first year but developed graft loss in the long term.
