  • Title: Ten-year results of renal transplantation with azathioprine and prednisolone as only immunosuppression.
    Author: McGeown MG, Douglas JF, Donaldson RA, Hill CM, Kennedy JA, Loughridge WG, Middleton D.
    Journal: Lancet; 1988 Apr 30; 1(8592):983-5. PubMed ID: 2896839.
    Abstract:
    93 patients received 102 renal transplants between 1968 and 1977. 99 grafts were from cadavers and 3 were from live donors; 93 were first grafts, 7 were second, and 2 were third. At 10 years total actual patient survival was 66.6%. 50 (55.5%) of 90 first cadaver grafts, and 52.2% of all cadaver grafts, survived at 10 years. Cardiovascular disease was the commonest cause of death, being responsible for 18 of 31 deaths (58%).
