Despite the high rate of rejection, allograft failure and patient mortality in the early years of renal allotransplantation, some patients have done-remarkably well. We report here on 62 renal transplant recipients out of 144 patients (43%) who had functioning grafts for more than 15 years (range 15-24 years).
