Article Synopsis
- From 1977 to July 2002, Santa Casa of Porto Alegre performed 1,376 renal transplants, with increasing transplant and survival rates each year since 1987.
- One-year graft survival rates were 90% for living donors and 80% for cadaver donors, showing significant improvement from the earlier period (1977-1995) to the later period (1996-2002).
- Pediatric patients made up 15.8% of transplants, primarily from living related donors, and there was no significant survival difference between transplants from "ideal" and marginal cadaver donors despite varying risk factors.
