SYNOPSIS During a two-year period (1966 to 1968) 70 Serious complications were present in 13 episodes of bacteraemia, and these were peritonitis before transplantation, necrosis of the donor ureter, and severe rejection or polar infarction in the donor kidney after transplantation.Bacteraemia due to Gram-negative bacilli was associated with complications in 61 % of cases. Ps. aeruginosa was almost invariably isolated from complicated cases though Esch. coli was only seen in simple cases.Antibiotic treatment was successful in 640% of cases but the cure rate was higher (86 %) before transplantation than after transplantation (55 %). Although the presence of complications did not affect the cure rate in Gram-positive bacteraemia, the cure rate in complicated Gram-negative bacteraemias was poor and associated with a mortality of over 70%.Patients receiving human cadaveric renal transplants are susceptible to all kinds of bacterial infection including bacteraemia, and the results of antibiotic treatment are dependent on both the nature of the infecting organism and the presence of serious underlying complications.

The procedure has also proved useful as a means of maintaining patients awaiting renal transplantation (Cohen and Percival, 1968). Peritoneal dialysis, while less expensive than haemodialysis, is still a major item in a hospital budget, particularly when materials marketed especially for peritoneal dialysis are used.…”

“…The first experience about the use of peritoneal dialysis in patients waiting for renal transplantation were published in some very early reports describing the feasibility of PD for patients awaiting renal transplantation [13][14][15]. Also in a small series of 15 patients the experience with renal transplantation in PD-patients was reported.…”
