A Single-Center Experience of Renal Transplantation in Elderly Patients: A Paired-Kidney Analysis

Our single-center results confirm that renal transplantation is a good option of renal replacement therapy in patients older than 60 years. Thorough recipient selection and preparation as well as customized immunosuppressive protocols are particularly important in that group of renal transplant recipients.
