Early, sustained and significant growth occurs in single kidneys from donors < or = 4 years of age transplanted into adult recipients who are receiving CsA therapy. Early and late renal function of single kidneys from donors < or = 4 years of age transplanted into adult recipients is more than adequate. Allograft loss from surgical complications (5%) is not excessive. Allografts from donors < or = 4 years of age are very vulnerable to early rejection. Allograft survival of single kidneys from donors < or = 4 years of age is equal to that reported for cadaveric kidneys from donors > 50 years of age. Single kidneys from donors < or = 5 years of age have an allograft survival equal to that for kidneys from donors of the same age that are transplanted en-bloc. One-year allograft survival among recipients of kidneys from donors < or = 4 years of age receiving 14 days of induction therapy and aggressive treatment of rejection (75%) approaches that of the ideal donor (83%). Kidneys from donors < or = 4 years of age represent an underutilized resource. |
