Kidney transplantation in diabetic nephropathy: four years experience.
Since 1972 65 patients with diabetic nephropathy have been evaluated for renal transplantation. Twenty one were not accepted, 6 died before transplantation and 10 are still under observation. Of 28 transplanted patients 13 are alive with functioning graft, and 3 are treated with hospital dialysis. Patient survival at one year was 65% and graft survival 50%.
