Abstract

This is the first case of renal transplantation in childhood in Korea. Patient was treated chronic renal failure with peritoneal dialysis, hemodalysis and transfusion duing 1 month before transplantation. Both kidneys revealed grade 4 vesico-ureteral renal tissue by open wedge biopsy. Patient was transplantated kidney of mother, as the result of HLA antigen tissue type matching. Level of hemoglobin, serum BUN and creatinine were returned to normal after transplantation. Azathioprine and prednisone were used as immunosuppresive agents for 7 months after transplantation. Methylprednisolone was used for 3 days after transplantation. Patient has been followed up at OPD with good condition for 7 months after transplantation.
