Objective: To determine the survival rates of renal failure
patients pending kidney transplants between 2018 and 2023
at Georgetown Public Hospital; identify the factors affecting
the survival rates of renal failure patients requiring kidney
transplants between 2018 and 2023 at Georgetown Public
Hospital and evaluate and identify potential environmental
barriers that may affect patients who are in the need of renal
transplant
Methods: A retrospective cross sectional study with renal transplant department, between 26th February 2024–24th December 2024, a total study size of 123 patients.
Results: The survival rate of renal failure patients between 2018–2023 was 86.18%. Survival rate was influenced by massive pulmonary oedema, severe uremia, cardiac failure, poor nutrition, discontinuing dialysis and uncontrolled comorbidities. Environmental barriers included limited donor availability, insufficient resources, psychosocial barriers, logistical challenges, poor knowledge and counselling.
Conclusion: The survival rate of renal failure patients pending kidney transplant between 2018 to 2023 was 86.18%. The rate was affected by several factors leading to increased mortality, the contributing factors were uncontrolled chronic conditions and environmental barriers.
