title: Fifteen-year experience with pediatric renal transplantation at the Montefiore Medical Center.
abstract: At Montefiore Medical Center, 140 pediatric recipients have received 155 renal allografts over a 16-year period with an overall 6% mortality. Graft survival was not significantly different based upon race or sex of recipient. Graft survival was significantly better for first time transplants and the youngest recipients. Graft survival was significantly improved using Tacrolimus immunosuppression.
