A low incidence of non‐function in a series of 67 cadaveric renal transplants is reported. Methods of preservation of function in kidneys from cadaver donors are discussed. Of particular importance are the avoidance of prolonged ischemia, and the avoidance of transplantation in the presence of antibodies toxic to the donor's leucocytes .
