| Abstract |
Successful renal transplantation has been performed in patients with end-stage renal disease and has been routine in patients with end-stage renal failure for more than two decades. Despite advances in the use of immunosuppressants, there has been only modest improvement in long-term allograft survival. Accumulating data have demonstrated that chronic rejection and recurrent glomerulonephritis are major causes of long-term allograft loss. However, data regarding the long-term impact of posttransplantation glomerulonephritis (PTGN) on ethnic Chinese populations are still unavailable. |
