[Results of double kidney transplantation from elderly donors].
From July 1996 to November 1997 13 patients underwent "two-in-one"-kidney transplantation from marginal donors. Up to now all renal grafts show a stable function measuring an average creatinin of 1.73 mg/dl after an average follow up of 8.2 month. To take the decision between "one-in-one" or "two-in-two" transplantation in marginal donors we developed a specific score. This score needs more evaluation because of the still small amount of patients undergoing double-kidney-transplantation.
