title: Factors influencing the prognosis in diabetic patients accepted for renal transplantation.
abstract: Out of 27 patients with advanced diabetic nephropathy accepted for renal transplantation. 11 had cardiac symptoms and 10 others had advanced neuropathy. The former group had a poor outcome with 100% mortality within one year, seven patients dying before transplantation. Neuropathy also indicated a poor prognosis. Early transplantation, before the stage of terminal uraemia, was at no advantage in this material.
