30 cases of second renal transplants.
30 second renal transplants from cadaver donors were performed. 93% of patients survived for 1 year and 89% for 2 years. 66% of grafts survived for 2 year and 57% for 2 years. Best results can be expected with patients less than 40 years old whose first transplant failed through chronic rejection, whether or not cytotoxic antibodies were present. The best histocompatibility in the HLA A and B system should be sought.
