Abstract
The first kidney transplant in Hawaii was performed in August 1969. In the following 25 years, more than 433 kidney transplants were performed. The most common etiology leading to transplantation was chronic glomerulonephritis. Patient and graft survivals after a kidney transplant have progressively improved, particularly after the introduction of cyclosporine in 1984. The overall one-year patient and graft survival rates now are 96% and 85%, respectively; these results exceed the national averages.
