ABSTRACT
Kidneys of paediatric deceased donors were previously considered suboptimal for older recipients. An 18-month-old deceased donor was made available via Singapore's Medical (Therapy, Education and Research) Act. To the best of our knowledge, she is the youngest local donor. We herein report a case of successful kidney transplantation, using the en bloc technique, to a 15-year-old girl with renal failure secondary to bilateral cystic dysplastic kidney.
