Introduction:

renal transplantation is the best available option for the treatment of terminal chronic renal failure. The determination of humoral markers makes it possible to detect and follow the evolution of kidney transplant patients and graft dysfunction, as well as its various complications.

Objectives:

to relate the performance of kidney transplants performed in patients with a group of humoral markers.

Methods:

a descriptive and cross-sectional research was carried out in 85 kidney transplant patients, with prior informed consent, which constituted all the patients of the Kidney Transplant service from "Arnaldo Milián Castro" Clinical and Surgical University Hospital, Santa Clara, Villa Clara, between January 2015 and December 2017.

Results:

male patients aged 40-59 years old predominated. The main associated disease was arterial hypertension. A number of 62 patients from the total number of transplant recipients (72.94%) were functional and the increase in hematocrit and albumin values ​​was significant in them, as well as the mean value of serum creatinine was slightly higher than the reference values.

Conclusions:

the most frequent age range was 40-59 years. The male gender associated with arterial hypertension prevailed. The functionality of transplants performed early, with less time on dialysis, prevailed. Creatinine had a significant association in the humoral markers. On the other hand, the hematocrit never normalized in non-functional patients. The Addis count was the test that underwent the earliest changes in the event of any alteration in renal function.
