Activity and follow-up 1978.
The total number of kidney grafts performed in Scandiatransplant is 3,915 of which 514 are from 1978. The waiting list seems to be stable at approx. 600 patients. The correlation of HLA-A, B matching and graft survival is highly significant. 3rd and 4th grafts have a much lower survival than 1st and 2nd. Overall results have decreased somewhat during the years.
