Renal transplantation.
There has been an increase in the transplantation of kidneys from living, genetically unrelated donors and from extended criteria cadaver donors. The past policies about paid renal donors are being reconsidered. Techniques have been developed to reduce morbidity for the living renal donor. The variety of immunosuppressants allows individuation of therapy. Guidelines for conception and pregnancy have been established.
