    Abstract:
    1. The 5-year actuarial graft, patient and functional graft survival rates were analyzed in 743 consecutive primary cadaveric kidney transplants from The Toronto Hospital between January 1985-December 1997. 2. Recipient age > or = 55 years, male recipient sex, recipient diabetes mellitus, CIT > 36 hours and delayed graft function were found to significantly decrease patient survival. 3. Recipient age > or = 55 years, sensitization to HLA antigens (peak PRA > 50%), donor/recipient HLA antigen mismatches, CIT > 36 hours, delayed graft, function and 6-month SCr > 200 mumol/L were found to significantly decrease graft survival. 4. Acute rejection episodes had no significant impact on overall 5-year patient or graft survival. 5. The observation that serum creatinine > 200 mumol/L had a major adverse influence on long-term outcome reflects the importance of functional renal mass on graft survival.
