title: Cadaveric renal transplantation in two patients with preexisting Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: Two young men developed nephrotic syndrome associated with Hodgkin's lymphoma and progressive renal failure. After a short course of hemodialysis with blood transfusion, each received a cadaveric renal transplant. During the postoperative period, chemotherapy (MOPP) was given. No transplant rejection episodes were diagnosed. The patients, who live normal lives, have been in lymphoma remission for 12 and 22 months and have serum creatinine levels of 120 and 108 mumol/L 47 and 50 months posttransplant, respectively (Table 1).
