[Renal transplantation in patients over 60 years of age. An increasing clinical reality].
The elevation of the uremic population age, the longer survival of dialysis, the increasing number of elderly donors, together with the safer surgical, anesthesiological and immunological procedures have led all over the word to an improvement of over 60s patients transplantation program, with very good results. The authors present their own experience of renal transplantation in elderly recipients and a review of what is reported in the literature on the question.
