The late results of renal transplantation are reviewed in 214 recipients with a functioning allograft for 2 years. Graft survival was better (P less than 0.001) in living related recipients (t 1/2 = 17 years) compared with cadaver graft recipients (t 1/2 = 7.7 years). Graft survival was also significantly different (P less than 0.001) in patients with a 2-year serum creatinine level of less than or equal to 2.0 (t 1/2 = 16.4 years), 2.1 to 3.0 (t 1/2 = 6.5 years), or greater than 3.0 mg/dl (t 1/2 = 2.9 years). A greater proportion of patients with a 2-year serum creatinine level of greater than 3 mg/dl had experienced greater than two rejection episodes (P less than 0.0001). Among recipients with a 2-year serum creatinine level of less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dl, living related grafts achieved better graft survival than cadaver grafts (P less than 0.05). Major complications of transplantation were more common in patients with a cadaver graft, 2-year serum creatinine level of greater than 3 mg/dl, or age greater than 45 years. One hundred and forty-two patients are currently alive, 93% of whom have achieved complete rehabilitation.
