Mean recipient age was 68 years (range 65 to 73 years). There were 17 men and 5 women. Additional risk factors included retransplantation (3 patients), high (greater than 30%) panel reactive antibody (4) and diabetes (1). All patients received cyclosporine as part of the immunosuppressive regimen. The 3-year actuarial patient and allograft survival rates were 89% and 71%, respectively. There were 6 graft losses due to chronic rejection (2 patients), renal vein thrombosis (1), myocardial infarction (1), withdrawal of immunosuppression because of sepsis (1) and primary nonfunction (1). Of the 16 patients with a functioning graft 12 currently have a serum creatinine of less than 2.0mg./dl. These results suggest that cadaveric renal transplantation is an acceptable form of treatment for patients older than 65 years with end stage renal disease. © 1992 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 147Issue 4April 1992Page: 990-993 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 1992 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Keywordsgeriatricskidney transplantationMetricsAuthor Information Carlos A.
