To explore the long-term outcomes of paediatric kidney transplantation and the effects of renal allograft on growth, education, employment, marriage and procreation. Twenty-seven children with ESRD received the renal allograft from 1985 to 2001. The patient and kidney survival rate, renal function, growth and employment, etc., were reviewed retrospectively. The average follow-up period was 10.3 +/- 4.4 yr. The one-, three-, five- and 10-yr graft survival rates were 96.3%, 88.9%, 81.5% and 66.7%, respectively, and the corresponding patient survival rates were 100%, 92.6%, 85.2% and 68.8%. The body weight gain was 4-10 kg in one-yr post-operative and the height increased 0-2 cm for girls and 2-5 cm for boys. A total of 44.4% of the recipients accomplished their education above junior high school. The employment rate was 46.2% in males, and 57.2% in females. Twelve patients were married. Non-adherence occurred in 30% of the recipients. Forty percent of the surviving recipients developed complications. Seven patients died. More attention should be paid to non-adherence of medications and more supports from the society are required to improve the life quality of paediatric recipients, especially in employment and education.
