Abstract

The successful transplantation of a single kidney of a two year old child to a 38 year old recipient is reported. The size of the kidney increased 400% and the function 340% over a period of 23 months. Adequate function of the transplant was accomplished through growth and considerable compensatory hypertrophy despite intercurrent rejection reactions.
