    From January 1, 1968 to May 31, 1973, 100 patients received first kidney transplants from sibling donors. All recipients have been followed for at least two years and several as long as 7.5 years. One hundred per cent follow-up information is available. The absolute two-year patient survival is 85% and the absolute two-year kidney function survival is 76%. Patients with diabetes (especially males) have less success following transplantation than do patients without diabetes. When diabetic patients are excluded, older patients appear to do slightly less well than younger patients. Patients with phenotypically identical HL-A matches with the donor do better than patients without such matches. In the nondiabetic technically perfect transplant recepient, better than 90% long-term transplant function can be expectedwith no kidney losses after the first few months. In contrast, the less well-matched transplant demonstrated both an increased early rejection rate and a high rate of loss after the third to fifth year. Increasing doses of anti-lymphoblast globulin (ALG) had beneficial results in HL-A mismatched sibling transplants, but were slightly detrimental in phenotypically identical HL-A donor-recipient pairs because of an increased rate of infection. The results are compared with the results of transplants from other related donors and from cadavers performed during the same period.
