[Results of renal transplantation in childhood].
37 renal allografts were performed on 27 children of 2-16 years of age. In 67% function was maintained for more than a year. At the beginning of 1981, 13 children had functioning grafts with a median serum-creatinine level of 1.8 +/- 1.2 mg%. 4 children had a functioning graft for more than 7 years. All children with functioning grafts were fully rehabilitated. Hence, renal transplantation is the optimal therapy in chronic renal insufficiency in childhood.
