Abstract
Statistically significant correlations were found between kidney graft function at 1 day, 1 wk or 1 mo. and long-term graft survival. Transplant centers with poor early results usually had poor long-term outcome. Assignment of clinical grades to patients with transplants also correlated significantly with subsequent graft survival. Monitoring early graft function and clinical grades was utilized in the assessment of new treatment protocols after relatively short transplant follow-up.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
