Abstract
In the period 2009-2016, the main results of the children’s kidney transplantation program in the Republic of Belarus were recipients’ survival of 100% and graft survival of 94.4%. The immunosuppressive therapy protocol with a lower glucocorticosteroid dose demonstrated its efficiency in children weighting >40 kg, as well as immediate graft function.
