Abstract

This infant's post renal transplantation course, representing apparently the smallest long term survivor, illustrates that neither age nor size are contraindications to successful renal transplantation in infants with end stage renal failure. Additional experience with the transplantation of a single kidney into a 1-yr-old baby weighing 4650 gm with congenital bilateral renal hypoplasia has also been successful with a 3-mo follow-up. Both cases demonstrate that single or double renal transplantation in infants is feasible and should be considered when indicated.
