Comparative results of cadaver and related donor renal homografts in man, and immunologic implications of the outcome of second and paired transplants

Use of Living Donors in Kidney Transplantation in Man

“…The groups at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, 7 the Medical College of Virginia, 8 the University of California at Los Angeles, 9 and the Cleveland Clinic 10 have all used substantial numbers of living donors. A full documentation of their experience has not been published aside from the facts that major complications have been rare and that no deaths have occurred.…”

Perspectives in Organ Transplantation

“…The degree of social and vocational rehabilitation in the interval of satisfactory kidney function is usually relatively complete. Moreover, it is now known chiefly as the result of HUME'S work [27], that retransplantation for the indication of a failing first homograft can be done with a reasonable expectation of success. This expedient was considered too late in some of the patients in our early series who died long after operation with diminishing renal function.…”

“…Immunosuppression was with total body radiation, a technique of host conditioning which has been replaced in most centers by drug therapy. In contrast, successes in the succeeding years have been reported by many authors [6,18,27,35,36,45,55,69,101].In this report, several issues will be reviewed on the basis of our earlier experience with human renal transplantation. The questions to be examined in distant retrospect concern the homograft rejection seen after clinical renal transplantation and the measures necessary to control and reverse this process; the life expectancy of patients brought through early rejection episodes; the effect of prospective histocompatibility matching upon survival; and the early and delayed influence of thymectomy upon kidney transplant function.…”
