Abstract

For renal transplantation, an elderly cadaver donor is often rejected because of the relatively poor long-term graft survival. Considering that a number of potential recipients are waiting for a renal transplant, dual kidney transplantation would be a more appropriate approach in this situation. We report one such case with a successful outcome.
