Long-Term Follow-Up of Kidney Transplant Recipients With Polycystic Kidney Disease.

CONCLUSIONS: The low rate of morbidity and excellent survival rates make kidney transplant an excellent option for patients with polycystic kidney disease. Although fear of future appearance of polycystic kidney disease may reduce the rate of related living donors, our study showed that graft and patient survival rates in the living-donor group were as high as in the deceased-donor group.
