Abstract

Objective: Researching on the relationship between proteinuria and renal allograft function. Subject and method: Retrospective, multi cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 111 kidney transplantation patients at 103 Military Hospital. Result: The mean of creatinine levels in patients with proteinuria were significantly higher than those without proteinuria at each time of study (p<0.05). In contrast, the mean of GFR in patients with proteinuria was significantly lower than that of the
non-proteinuric group; in the group of patients with proteinuria, creatinine levels had been on the increase and GFR had been on the decrease for 3 years (p<0.05). Conclusion: Proteinuria is a risk factor of dysfunction of renal allograft.
