[Renal transplantation in malignant nephrosclerosis (author's transl)].
Renal transplantation was performed 3 to 64 months after the onset of dialysis in 6 patients with histologically ascertained malignant nephrosclersosis and malignant hypertension, as well as terminal renal failure. Three patients were nephrectomized on both sides before and one after the transplantation. 24 to 105 months after the transplantation all patients were normotensive. Only one patient required low-dosage antihypertensive medication. There was evidence for marked improvement of cardiovascular complications, and no evidence for recurrence of malignant nephrosclerosis in the transplanted kidney.
