The social rehabilitation and quality of life in patients living with kidney transplants for more than 10 years.

Forty-six patients lived with kidney grafts for more than 10 years. The kidney function was excellent or good in 35 patients. Thirty-seven patients were in excellent physical and mental condition and were considered fully restored. Nine patients had disabling diseases of varying severity. Thirty-eight patients were employed and several had all their occupational education after transplantation. Nine of the 31 patients of fertile age at transplantation had born or fathered 15 normal children. Forty-six patients who lived with kidney grafts for more than 10 years were very well socially rehabilitated and had reached a quality of life quite comparable to that of people of the same age.

Kidney transplantation in patients 60 years and older.

Between 1967 and 1978 41 patients were transplanted at an age of 60 years or more. The patient survival was approximately 50% at two years. Most of the dead patients died with functioning grafts. Infections and cardiovascular complications dominated as causes of death. Main complications were cardiovascular diseases, infections, musculosceletal diseases and diabetes. During the last three years results have improved and we will continue to offer kidney transplantation to elderly patients in terminal renal failure.

Clinical kidney preservation with Sacks' solution.

One hundred and eleven cadaver kidneys were preserved by simple hypothermic storage in Sacks' solution for periods up to 41 hours. All kidneys were viable and in 72% of the cases there was significant graft function within three days. These results compare favourably with our previous experience with machine perfusion. It is concluded that perservation of cadaver kidneys in Sacks's solution is a reliable method for periods up to at least 30 hours which corresponds well to our clinical needs. Simple hypothermic storage is thus today our routine method of preservation.
