Abstract:
Successful renal transplantation is widely accepted as the treatment of choice for end-stage renal failure in infants, children and adolescents. The major issues currently requiring consideration when contemplating renal transplantation in the mentioned patients are: primary renal disease, psychosocial status, life-related versus cadaver donor allograft, optimal immunosuppressive regimen including cyclosporine, and maximization of growth and pubertal development. In transplanted adolescents, noncompliance is now a major problem, ranking only second to rejection as a cause of graft loss.
