title: [Is kidney transplantation justified after 65 years?].
abstract: According to literature kidney transplantation in patients above 65 years of age is justified. It is justified for selected patients with perfect cardiovascular status and several years of life expectancy. However it would be better not to enlarge these indications since there are not enough kidney transplants.
