All patients were regularly followed up.Results Dysfunction occurred in one graft kidney 5 years after the operation, and the patient died of cardiovascular complication 8 years after the operation. The remaining 2 patients have survived 22 and 2 months respectively with normal renal function, and their Rh antibodies were negative 21 and 2 months after the operation respectively.Conclusion Fully perfused Rh-positive renal grafts can be transplanted to Rh-negative uremia patients.
