title: Pediatric renal transplantation.
abstract: Renal transplantation in children is a most rewarding treatment that dramatically changes the overall health and lifestyle of children with ESRD. Complexities in different aspects of renal transplantation in children are obvious. Optimum technical conditions and drug therapy must be provided for the success of renal transplantation. Application of recent advances in immunology and long-term care to clinical transplantation continue to improve graft and patient survival rates. Optimization of growth and development also can be improved with the use of rhGH.
