Abstract
Journal of Transplant Coordination, Vol. 9, Number 2, June 1999 went kidney transplantation between February 1990 and April 1997 at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Of these 1227 kidney-only transplants, 230 (19%) were performed in patients aged 60 years or older at the time of transplantation (mean age, 65.2± 4.4 years; range, 60-84). The average donor age was 37.4±21.5 years (range, 1-76). Regarding sex distribution, 149 (65%) recipients were male and 81 (35%) were female. A total of 204 (89%) patients were white, 19 (8%) were black, and 7(3%) were in other ethnic groups. Cadaveric donors accounted for 223 (97%) of the cases, and living donors were used in 7 (3%) cases. The causes of end-stage renal disease were diabetes in 50 (22%) patients, hypertension in 33 (14%) patients, chronic glomerulonephritis in 30 (13%) patients, polycystic kidney disease in 23 (10%) patients, and other causes (renovascular disease, Outcome of kidney transplantation under tacrolimus-based immunosuppression in elderly patients
