Today, management of irreversible renal failure is based primarily on maintenance hemodialysis and renal transplantation with a growing minority of patients treated by peritoneal dialysis. With regard to renal transplantation — the early promise of renal transplantation in the mid 1960's has given way to the realities of the late 1970's. There have been no major changes in the rejection rate of transplanted kidneys in recent years though today's mortality of transplant patients is considerably reduced over what it used to be. Moreover, universally the lack of availability of a sufficient number of organs for transplantation poses a formidable problem. It is all too apparent that current methods of blood purification in uremia are far from optimal. Even though the mortality in maintenance dialysis is relatively low, hemodialysis is characterized by a variety of complications and most maintenance dialysis patients are not optimally rehabilitated.

The treatment of choice for end-stage renal failure within the first year of life is controversial. Between September 1970 and February 1991, we performed 28 kidney transplants (27 primary, 1 retransplant, 23 living donor, 5 cadaver) in infants less than 1 yr of age (mean, 7 +/- 2 months; range, 6 wk to 12 months). The 1-yr patient survival rate for living donor recipients was 100% versus 20% for cadaver recipients (P = 0.0001). The 1-yr graft survival rate for living donor recipients was 96% versus 20% for cadaver recipients (P = 0.001). The 1-yr patient survival rate for cyclosporin A (CSA) recipients (N = 12) was 100% versus 75% for non-CSA recipients (P = 0.03). The 1-yr graft survival rate for CSA recipients was 92% versus 75% for non-CSA recipients (P = 0.08). There was no difference in the number of rejection episodes or serum creatinine levels in CSA versus non-CSA recipients. Compared with pretransplant values, the mean posttransplant standard deviation scores (SDS) for height (N = 18), weight (N = 22), and head circumference (N = 8) improved: height SDS from -1.9 to -1.5 (not significant); weight SDS from -2.5 to 0.6 (P less than 0.0005); head circumference SDS from -2.0 to -0.7 (P = 0.01). Because no other renal replacement therapy can match these results, we conclude that renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for infants with end-stage renal failure.

In our patient, with a small contacted bladder and end stage renal failure, bladder augmentation (clam ileocystoplasty) was done in conjunction with renal transplantation. Our patient has stable renal and bladder function 46 months after kidney transplantation.
