Results in 355 Cs-treated renal graft recipients have been analyzed. The majority of graft losses occurred early. Prior sensitization and repeat grafts were clear-cut early risks for cadaver recipients but not live-related donor grafts. In neither group was presensitization clearly a risk factor for late losses, although repeat grafts were much more at risk late. The majority of late losses was due not to chronic rejection but to deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer, and a surprisingly high number from noncompliance.

D012086 Reoperation A repeat operation for the same condition in the same patient due to disease progression or recurrence, or as followup to failed previous surgery. Revision, Joint,Revision, Surgical,Surgery, Repeat,Surgical Revision,Repeat Surgery,Revision Surgery,Joint Revision,Revision Surgeries,Surgery, Revision
D002102 Cadaver A dead body, usually a human body. Corpse,Cadavers,Corpses
D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines

It may include calculation of the anticipated money costs of such events and of the premiums necessary to provide for payment of such costs. Analysis, Actuarial,Actuarial Analyses,Analyses, Actuarial
D012307 Risk Factors An aspect of personal behavior or lifestyle, environmental exposure, inborn or inherited characteristic, which, based on epidemiological evidence, is known to be associated with a health-related condition considered important to prevent.
