Objective:To introduce the experience on 8 cases living-related donor kidney transplantation(LD KT) in the past two years. Methods:8 patients underwent LDKT.The living donors(6 males and 2 females) received fully medical evaluation before operation. All cases were donated by blood relationship donors. CTA

ECT

HLA matching

PRA and CDC were done pre-operations. All t he donors underwent open nephrectomy

in which 5 cases donated right kidneys and 3 cases donated lef t kidneys. All the case underwent t he first renal transplantation. Triple-combined immuno suppressive protocols consisted of calcineurin inhibitors(CNI)

MMF and steroid. Results:All donors were discharged in ten days postoperation. Af ter followed up for 2 months to 14 months

all the donors kept normal kidney function without impairment of life quality. All the recipients were discharged in 28 days with normal kidney function

and keep the normal renal f unction till to now. Conclusion: Accurate pre-operation assessment of the donor’s safe and choose the donor kidney

good surgical technique are critical for the success. Optimal HLA matches and reasonable using of immunosuppressants can make the grafts survived long term. Living-rela ted donor kidney transplantation is a safe and effective reatment.
