ResumoRENAL transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal failure. However, the recipient needs a lifelong intake of immunosuppressive medication for the long-term success of the transplantation. There is a growing awareness of patient noncompliance with immunosuppression, which can result in rejection and graft loss. Recent data show rates of noncompliance ranging from less than 5% to more than 45%; it depends on time posttransplant and evaluation method. Noncompliance is one of the major causes of graft failure among renal transplant recipients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the present rate of graft loss due to noncompliance among our patients and to identify factors associated with noncompliance.
