Chronic renal disease (CRD) is the reduction of the number and functional impairment of nephrons and usually resulting end stage renal disease (ESRD). But ESRD is defined that loss of irreversible endogenous renal functions and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls below 15 ml / min.

In our result ,patients who underwent renal transplantation fifth year renal function tests of the patients , sex hormones , lipid profiles, sexual life activities, general health status were evaluated retrospectively. We obtain insight about the fifth year assessments in patients also in preemptive patients we as the results remain difficult to interpret high parathormone and high serum creatinine levels. These results will include more patients eligible to be evaluated in prospective studies
