The outcome of 64 repeated renal retransplantations (50 third, 13 fourth, and 1 fifth) during a period of 25 years was retrospectively evaluated. The prognosis of third and subsequent grafting was greatly improved if cyclosporine was included in the induction immunosuppressive regimen (one-year graft survival 79.9%, compared with 32.4% if CsA was not used). The onset of graft function was not delayed by CsA and the proportion of never functioning grafts was significantly lower (5.3%) in patients treated with CsA than in those treated without it (43.2%). Survival of the previous grafts for longer than one year favorably influenced the outcome of the subsequent grafts.
