title: [Personal experiences with kidney transplantation in the elderly].
abstract: From January 1987 to December 1988 226 cadaveric renal allotransplants were performed in the Kidney Transplant Center of the Friedrichshain Hospital. 38 of the recipients (17%) were older than 50 years. The results of transplantation are comparable with younger recipients, except a higher frequency of age-related urological complications of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
