Abstract
Twenty-two living related renal transplant operations have been performed at Prince Henry's Hospital over the last seven years. Donors have been accepted for nephrectomy only after exhaustive examination of their health and serach for renal disease. The one and three year graft survival rates have been 85% and 64% respectively. Only two recipients have died, and recipient morbidity has been low. Donors have not suffered any serious complication from nephrectomy. It is concluded that living related renal transplantation has many advantages over cadaveric renal transplantation and is a relatively safe procedure for the donor, provided that rigid criteria are used in donor selection.Keywords
