Abstract
THE tabulations compiled by the Registry in Human Kidney Transplantation sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and National Research Council and under the careful direction of Murray and his associates1 2 3 permit survival data of patients with renal grafts to be calculated by means of conventional technics.4 The published tables are based on worldwide experience with over 500 renal grafts at centers specializing in this technic, and the survival data derived have important implications for the future of isografts and allografts in renal disease, in other disease that may benefit from organ replacement and for the evaluation of artificial organs . . .
