bouring countries, the practical need for dia-
lysis may well correspond to only 20—25 new
patients per million inhabitants per year.
During the 12 year period 16 transplantations
have been done on 14 patients. Three of these
were living donor transplants. All cadaver
kidney transplants are done through the
Scandiatransplant matching system. As our
patient group is too small to warrant a trans-
plantation center in Iceland, a contract has
been made with Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen
to perform the operations.
Results of necrokidney transplantations are
quite comparable to those seen in other Nordic
countries, the three year graft survival being
50%.
