Renal transplantation with living donor.
In 1967-1980, 134 renal transplantations with living donor were carried out. Eleven transplantations were done on children under 15 years old, 6 on patients over 50. The remainder were 15-50 years old. Twenty-three patients died. The patient survival was 92 per cent after one year, 76 per cent after 5 years and 54 per cent after 10 years. Graft survival was 84 per cent after one year, 68 per cent after 5 years and 48 per cent after 10 years. Psychological and psychiatric problems as well as legal and economic aspects of the donor's situation are discussed.
