[Ten years of renal transplantation in children].
One hundred and fourteen kidney transplants (87 first and 27 second and thirds) were performed in 90 children aged 1 to 15 years during the period 1979-1988; 44% were under 10 years, 14% under 5 and 8% under 3 years of age. The renal grafts were from living related donor (LD) in 30 cases and from cadaveric donor (CD) in 84; 91 were from adult donors and 23 from pediatric ones. The actuarial survival rate of the patients at one and two years was 100% in the LD and 92 and 90% respectively in the CD group. The actuarial survival rate of the first graft at one two years was 98% and 78% in the LD and 83% and 68% in the CD group. When gathered for the receptor age the actuarial survival rate of the first graft was 78 and 67% in the 1-5 years group (n = 19) and 86 and 71% in the 6-15 years one (n = 68). Serum creatinine level was 0.9 +/- 0.4 mg/dl three months, 1.2 +/- 0.7 mg/dl at one year, an 1.8 +/- 1.2 mg/dl at two years among the 50 transplants with a follow-up over two years.
