ABSTRACT
We report our results with live related renal transplantation in 43 diabetics, most of whom were non-insulin dependent, with end stage renal disease. The overall one year patient survival was 72.1% and graft survival was 65.1%. The use of Cyclosporine was associated with a significant improvement in the one year patient and graft survival (92.3% and 84.6% respectively). The most important cause of mortality was infection. Live related renal transplantation with Cyclosporine as immunosuppression is advisable for the uremic diabetic.
