Abstract

The reasons for end-stage renal disease in pediatric patients differ from adults. The therapy of choice is renal transplantation. A total of 117 children and adolescents were treated with renal transplantation in 2003 in Germany. Immunosuppressive therapy and related comorbidities are the main problems in pediatric patients. The following article provides a summary of transplantation in children, preparation, and follow-up.
