"Suboptimal" kidney donors: The experience with tacrolimus-based immunosuppression [PDF]
, 1996 Female, pediatric, and older donors have been associated with inferior graft survival after renal transplantation. We analyzed these three subgroups in 397 patients receiving tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. There were no differences in recipient age,
