Should be the lower age limits in pediatric kidney transplantation?
Abstract
Fifty one kidney transplantations performed in 38 children, who started the renal replacement therapy at the age before 10 years, were analyzed. The best outcome was found in patients, received the kidney from the donors of 20 years old and younger, maintained on dialysis not more then 6 months and having 0-1 DR mismatch. Any interference between weight and height of the child and further transplant outcome and graft function was not found.
