[Preparation of the patient for kidney transplantation].
1. Before the kidney transplantation the renal insufficient patient should be tended in a chronic dialysis program, because only in this way all possibilities of the prolongation of his life are treated fully and favourable presuppositions can be provided for success of the transplantation. 2. The age of the patients above 50 years and a bad clinical condition are the most important risk factors for a kidney transplantation. Both of them must be avoided, if possible. 3. Part of the preparation of the transplantation is the rehabilitation of the patient. It has the following priorities in diagnostic and therapeutic relation: a) sanitation of the infection b) correction of complications of the terminal kidney insufficiency c) normalization of the function of the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract and of the cardiovascular system.
