title: [Organ transplantation in France in 1984 (activity report of France-Transplant)].
abstract: Nine hundred and seventy four renal transplantations were performed in 1984, thus attaining a total 7927 grafts made in France at the end of 1984. The numbers of heart transplantations (77), to which 100 prospects in 1985 can be added, as well as liver grafts (13) plus 50 prospects in 1985, are showing a spectacular increase. Although the considerable improvement of heart graft and liver graft results can be attributed, essentially to the use of Cyclosporine, this trend can be dependent in the case of kidney transplantations also on transfusions before and on a better HLA-B DR compatibility which can in optimal situations represent a respective gain of 10% and 15% of graft survival.
