Description
Summary:•Long-term complication rates are the same in younger and older kidney recipients.•Five-year serum creatinine occurrence is more frequent in older kidney recipients.•Death-censored kidney-graft survival is similar in younger and older recipients.•Early surgical complications lower rates of kidney-graft survival among older individuals.•Early infections after kidney transplant lower rates of survival among younger patients. Long-term results of kidney transplant (KTx) in older patients may differ from younger recipients owing to increased cardiovascular comorbidities. The study aimed to analyze surgical and nonsurgical complications that develop in the long-term follow-up period after KTx, and factors that influence results of KTx in recipients aged 60 years and older (≥60) compared with younger recipients (
