Blood transfusion and human renal transplantation.

Analysis of 156 first cadaver-kidney transplants performed in one transplantation center revealed a better graft survival in the group of transfused patients compared to the non-transfused patients. The degree of statistical significance between the groups improved with increasing number of pre-transplant blood transfusions. Pregnancy had no influence on graft survival. As could be expected the frequency of lymphocytotoxic antibodies before transplantation increased with increasing number of blood transfusions. However, lymphocytotoxic antibodies seemed not to influence graft survival.

Urinary bladder tumours in children. Case report of inverted papilloma.

A short review is given of tumours of the urinary bladder in children, and the first case of an inverted papilloma in a child is reported. The tumour was situated in the trigone of the bladder and was successfully extirpated, with no recurrence at follow-up 9 months later. It was histologically typical of these tumours. The 105 patients described in the literature had an average age of 55 years, whereas the present case is the first to be described arising during the first two decades of life. The most frequent symptoms of such tumours are haematuria and urinary obstruction. It is suggested that the treatment of choice is transurethral excision. The term Brunnian adenoma is recommended for use with this tumour, in order to avoid the impression given by the name papilloma of the bladder, that the tumour is malignant.
