Background. As of December 1997, more than 170000 patients in Japan were receiving hemodialysis, 30% to 50% of whom were waiting for a kidney transplant. However, in contrast to the situation in the United States and Europe, kidney transplantation is uncommon, because of the small number of cadaveric kidneys that are donated. As a result, living-related kidney transplantation is performed in as many patients as possible, even in ABO-incompatible cases. Methods. We statistically analyzed the data for 167 ABO-incompatible living donor kidney transplantations that were carried out between January 1989 and December 1997. Results. The overall patient survival rates at 1, 3, 5, and 7 years after transplantation were 90.2%, 90.2%, 88.0%, and 84.8%, respectively, with respective overall graft survival rates of 79.6%, 76.1%, 66.3%, and 56.5%. Conclusions. ABO-incompatible living kidney transplantation is an effective radical treatment for endstage renal disease (ESRD).
