title: Renal transplantation in pre-school children.
abstract: This short report describes the outcome of 13 renal transplants in 11 children under 5 years of age. Nine (82%) of the 11 recipients are alive; 2 children died with functioning grafts. Approximately 50% of grafts are functioning at 5 years post transplantation. Children with congenital kidney malformations can be successfully managed to transplantation.
