[Kidney transplantation in the treatment of patients with end-stage renal failure].
Renal transplantation has become an acceptable mode of therapy for patients with end-stage renal failure since the early 1960s. Retrospective study was done to analyze clinical results od 126 patients who received either living related or cadaveric kidney. The cumulative graft survival rate was 90% one year and 80% four years after living related kidney transplantation. The corresponding patient survival rate was 96% one year and 94% four years after transplantation. There were no significant differences in graft and patient survival regarding mode of immunosuppressive therapy. In cadaveric kidney transplantation graft survival after one year was 78% and patient survival ranged at 98%. Our results are comparable to those of other centers and we think renal transplantation is adequate therapy for most patients with end-stage renal disease.
