Abstrakt: Seventy-seven patients underwent transplantation, using a cyclosporine-prednisone immunosuppression protocol. No recipients died, and graft survival at one year was 100% for living related donor (LRD) recipients and 84% for cadaver donor (CD) recipients. Nineteen percent of locally harvested, flush-cooled kidney recipients required dialysis, whereas imported kidneys had a 66% dialysis rate. Infectious complications occurred in 17% of patients. Mean hospitalization was 12.8 days for LRD recipients and 13.6 days for CD recipients. Twenty-eight patients required 37 readmissions, mostly for treatment of rejection and infections. Total two-year cost for LRD transplants was +21,400; for CD transplants, +23,900.
