Long-term results of renal transplantation in children.
Of 81 children at risk for 5 to 11 yrs following an initial renal allograft, 62 (77%) are alive and 54 (67%) have a functioning allograft. Growth retardation remains a significant problem following transplantation in children; however, rehabilitation is excellent with 94% of recipients surviving with a functioning allograft engaged in age appropriate activities.
