[10 years survival of kidney grafts]

Prior to the end of June 1967, a total of 22 kidney allotransplantations had been performed at the Kantonsspital Zurich, Switzerland, with the exclusive use of cadaver kidneys. Ten years later, 10 patients are still alive, 8 of them with functioning primary transplant. In none of these patients is the serum creatinine higher than 1.6 mg%. 6 of the 8 patients are at work full-time and 2 half-time.
