title: [Follow-up of the transplantation of contaminated kidneys].
abstract: 102 kidney transplantation were performed in 1987 in the Kidney Transplant Center at Berlin. The course of 22 contaminated grafts (22%) was analyzed. The main bacteria were staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa. In 6 out of 22 contaminated transplants (27%) a delayed wound healing did occur. In 2 cases the infection was the cause of graft removal and 2 patients died due to septical complications of the contaminated graft. Therefore, the contaminated kidney is a potential risk for graft and patient survival and strong asepsis and effective perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is necessary.
