This study is conducted to identify some characteristics of patients with renal transplant indications for kidney transplantation from 26 hospitals in Hanoi. According to the research results, in 2020, Hanoi has 3,220 patients on dialysis with the average age of 54, mainly from 46-65, more males than females. More than 95% of the causes of dialysis are chronic glomerulonephritis, hypertension, and diabetes; up to 65% of the dialysis time is over 5 years, blood type O patients account for 43% and 25% of dialysis patients with hepatitis C. Out of a total of 3,220 patients, 2,400 (74%) of patients have indicated a kidney transplant with an average age of nearly 49 years, of which men (55%) are more than women (45%); dialysis time less than 5 years accounts for the highest percentage with 43%, 25% of patients with indicated kidney transplantation are HCV positive; chronic kidney failure due to chronic glomerulonephritis and hypertension, diabetes are two main groups of causes, accounting for 94% of dialysis patients who are indicated for transplant.
