title: [Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney in adults and transplantation].
abstract: Seventy-six patients with polycystic kidneys were followed in the Bicêtre renal transplantation unit. Fifty four were transplanted. Fifty two nephrectomies were performed in these patients essentially because of the size of the kidney and for renal infections. Fifty four patients were transplanted at a mean of 44 years. The actuarial survival of the patients at one year and at three years was 92% and 88% and the actuarial survival of the grafts at one year and at five years was 87% and 71%. These results are comparable to those obtained in other patients transplanted in the unit. Pre-transplantation nephrectomy and the patient's age do not aggravate the prognosis. Nephrectomy may be justified in these patients when they must be transplanted as transplantation currently gives very good results.
