1. The influence that a patient's original disease had on the outcome of kidney transplantation was small when recent transplants (1983 to present) were examined. A difference of only 5% was seen in one-year graft survivals of first cadaver donors. The average one-year survival was 70%; patients with pylonephritis having the best (75%) and SLE patients the worst (65%) survival rates among the major disease categories. 2. There was little difference observed in patient survivals or functional graft survivals in first cadaver transplants among patients with different original diseases. This was also the case with cadaver regrafts; with the exception of polycystic kidney patients who had quite poor graft survival (41% at one year) with regrafts. Pretransplant blood transfusions resulted in increased cadaver graft survival; however the low number of nontransfused patients in many disease categories presented difficulties in examining this effect. 3. The use of cyclosporine resulted in increased cadaver graft survival in all disease categories. One-year cadaver graft survival of cyclosporine-treated patients averaged 75% compared to 63% with noncyclosporine-treated patients. A beneficial effect of cyclosporine use was not consistently seen in transplants involving living-related donors, although perhaps larger numbers of patients are required in order to confirm this observation. 4. Graft survival in diabetic patients was quite good in this analysis of recent transplants. First cadaver one-year graft survival in diabetics was only 4% below the overall average and 2% less with cyclosporine. Patients with both juvenile (75% one-year graft survival) and adult-onset (78% one-year graft survival) forms of the disease had good graft survival when cyclosporine was used for immunosuppression.
