Introduction. and Aim. End-stage renal disease owing to structural urologic anomalies is frequent in the pediatric population. Impaired bladder function is thought to have a negative effect on graft function and survival. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and long-term follow-up results in pediatric patients who underwent renal transplantation for urologic reasons and to compare graft survival among patients who underwent transplantation for nonurologic reasons. Method. The paper records of renal transplanted children (<18 years of age) held by Ege University Medical Faculty between 1998 and 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with normal bladder function who underwent transplantation for urologic reasons were defined as group A, whereas patients who had impaired bladder function and underwent transplantation for urologic reasons were defined as group B; a control group was defined as group C. Results. Eighty-three patients were included in the study. The creatinine values of the patients at their last visit were no different between groups (P =.930). One-, 5-, and 10-year graft survival rates were 97%, 89%, and 74%, respectively, in group A; 100% for all years in group B; and 97%, 94%, and 80%, respectively, in group C. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of graft survival between groups (P = .351). Conclusion. Children with end-stage renal disease owing to urologic abnormalities may be good candidates for kidney transplantation with a favorable prognosis for graft function and survival.
