[Problem of kidney transplantation (on the 25th anniversary of the first successful transplantation of the kidney in the USSR)].
The first successful transplantation of a kidney from an alive relative donor in the USSR was performed by B. V. Petrovsky at the All-Union Research Institute of Clinical and Experimental Surgery (now the All-Union Surgery Research Center, AMS, USSR) on April 15, 1965. In November, 1965 he transplanted a cadaver kidney for the first time with a good outcome. The Center possesses an experience with 987 kidney transplantations to date, among which 101 were related transplantations. The authors discuss the progress made in this field of surgery in a period of 25 years. The longest survival period among recipients with a functioning related kidney is 22 years and among those with a cadaver kidney, 19 years. With the use of Cy A 86% of transplanted related kidneys and 76% of cadaver kidneys function for 12 months or longer. The authors discuss the advantages of a new original method for transorganic oxygen preservation of a kidney suggested by G. A. Asoyan, instrumental-functional methods developed at the Center for appraising the hemodynamics of the transplanted kidney and diagnosis of the rejection crisis, cyclosporine nephrotoxicity, and progress in the techniques of kidney transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy. The authors believe that further improvement in the results of allogeneic kidney transplantation is well-grounded.
