Two hundred renal transplantations were performed on 187 patients between July, 1972 and June, 1978. On a follow-up of 6--78 months the survival rate after allogenic transplantation was 80% at one year and 64% at five years. Satisfactory renal function was present in 62% at one year and 31% at six years. Gastrointestinal complications were common and caused about 40% of all deaths. Severe infections were the second most common cause of death. Local complications required explantation in 4%, and caused death in 0.5% of cases. Change in the treatment regimen, using less massive immunosuppressive measures during acute rejection, lowered the death-rate without a higher loss of transplants. The death-rate was 16% at three months and 26% at one year in the first of the 200 transplantations, but 6% and 12%, respectively, in the last 50 consecutive transplantations. The survival rate of patients with transplants is thus comparable to that of patients receiving chronic haemodialysis.
