title: [Kidney transplantation in patients over 60 years of age. Study of 37 patients].
abstract: Between February 1975 and September 1993, 735 renal transplantations have been performed 37 of which took place in 60+ year-old subjects. All grafts were from corpse donors. 34 were first time transplants and 3 were re-transplants. In general, immunosuppression has been accomplished with Cyclosporin, Azathioprine, and Prednisone. Annual patient and graft survival is 87% and 69%, respectively. A review is made of the complications developed and the success rate with and without a functioning graft. Considering long-term results, many patients lead a normal live with stable renal function.
