Background
Kidney transplantation is the definitive treatment option for chronic kidney failure, offering improved quality of life and extended survival. Access to kidney transplantation is limited in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region,with only a few countries with established services. Tanzania started its program five years ago, for the sustainability of the program it is important to understand the outcome. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the clinical outcomes and survival rates of kidney transplant recipients at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania, in the absence
of a national transplant registry, since the inception of the program.
