Abstract
Renal transplantation in humans started with a living related donor transplant in 1953 [1]. Later on, cadaver transplantation found a special place in organ transplantation, especially in kidney transplantation. Since, with organized efforts, there were not enough cadaver kidneys to fulfil the ever-increasing demand for kidneys [2], living renal transplantation has strongly maintained its place in transplantation today, especially living related donation with its good results on a long-term basis [3]. We have not only used living related donations [4, 5], but also living unrelated transplantation which has been the only hope for life for many of our recipients without a proper donor [6]. We present here our results of related and unrelated renal transplantations.
