The causes of graft loss were analysed in a group of 487 kidney transplants, of which 252 (51.46%) concerned related donors, 139 (28.5%) cadaver donors and 96 (19.7%) non-related donors. A total of 74 kidneys were lost in the first 3 months after transplantation (15.19%). In 34 cases the loss was due to immunological factors (45.9%) in 21 cases (28.3%) to the death of the patients and in 19 cases (25.7%) to the technical causes. From 34 losses by immunological problems, 32 were rejections with humoral character (acute vascular rejection in 11 cases, late humoral rejection in 11 cases, immediate humoral rejection in 9 cases, ABO incompatibility in one case) and recurrence of original disease in one case. Acute cellular rejection was observed in only one patient. None of the patients died from immunological loss of the graft. The most frequent cause of death were sepsis (13 out of 21 patients) and the most common focus of infection was pulmonary (5 patients). It occurred most frequently with cadaveric donor, (10.07%). Death related to cardiovascular causes occurred in four patients, digestive in two and in consequence of arterial bleeding in two. Among the 23 losses by technical factors renal artery thrombosis was the most frequent (11 cases); renal rupture occurred in three cases, renal vein thrombosis in two rupture of arterial anastomosis in one and inviable kidney in another one. The technical loss was most frequent with cadaver donors (8.63%), followed by non-related donors (4.16%) and related donors (2.77%). Four patients died from causes directly related to technical factors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
