Abstract and learning objectives:

The purpose of this article is to review:

Factors influencing long-term outcome data after transplantation

Patient survival overall, the effect of recipient age and donor type, causes of death, comparison of mortality after transplantation with that on dialysis, and effect of pre-emptive transplantation and race

Transplant survival overall, and the effect of recipient and donor age, donor type, pre-emptive transplantation, recurrent diseases, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, immunosuppression, concordance, hypertension, bladder dynamics and type of donor nephrectomy

Final height and obesity

Psycho-social outcome
