Renal transplantation. 12-Year experience.

The results of cadaveric renal transplantation in one centre over 12 years are reviewed. One hundred and sixty-eight grafts have been performed in 147 recipients. At one year after transplantation, patient survival rate was 86%, and graft survival rate was 63%. Analysis of factors influencing graft survival show that the age of recipients, the lack of blood transfusions, and the use of poorly matched grafts (three to four HLA mismatches against 0 to two mismatches), all had adverse effect on survival. Death was a significant cause of graft loss in patients over the age of 45 years. Patients who had not received blood transfusions, and who received grafts which were mismatched for three to four HLA antigens, did especially badly, graft survival rate at six months being only 24% compared with that of 70% in patients who received blood transfusions.

Renal failure after snake bite.

Three cases of acute renal failure after snake bite are presented. All required dialysis and the recovery phase was prolonged in each case. Investigations show that microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia was associated with the acute renal failure.
