Abstract
Children and adolescents [18] who survived 2 yr or longer in an attempt to manage their end-stage renal failure by transplantation were studied. The psychological adaptation of the young person to this form of management of renal disease was assessed by a semistructured interview of the patient and his parents. Of the patients, (50%) functioned at school or on the job and did not experience depression. The remaining half did less well. A satisfactory quality of life required a successful transplant.
