This study aimed to evaluate patients with renal transplantation in terms of clinical and laboratory parameters. This study was performed retrospectively with records of 48 patients who underwent renal transplantation before 18 years of age, between June 2008 and July 2019.Congenital malformations of the urinary tract were the most common underlying causes of chronic kidney disease stage 5. Surgical complications occurred in 33.4% of the patients and BK viremia was the most common opportunistic viral infection during the follow-up. At the last clinic visit, 57.4% of our patients had CKD stage 1, hypertension and nephrotic range proteinuria were seen in eight and two patients, respectively.Although renal transplantation is the most ideal renal replacement therapy, patients may experience various complications during the follow-up. Therefore, they should be monitored regularly.
