Between January 2010 and December 2016 a total of renal transplants have been performed, being 462 of them from brain death cadaver donor.  116 donors were less than 55 years old (J), 177 between 55 and 75 (M) and 169 more than 75 years old (V). Most significant results are shown in table I
Median recipient age were 45 +/-11, 53 +/-12, and 63 +/-8,8,  and median donor age were 43  +/-10,65 +/-5, and 79 +/-7, respectively (p< 0,01).
Median days until first spontaneous drop in serum creatinine was 2,6 +/- 4,1 (0-29) in J, 3,5 +/-6,8 (0-60) in M and 3+/- 5 (0-35) in V. There is no statistically significant differences in HLA incompatibility cases. Cold ischaemia were higher in V.
Most significant results are shown in table I
1-year and 5-year serum creatinine is significantly lower in group J, without any differences between the other groups.
1-year and 5-year patient survival and graft survival was 96% and 88%, and 86% and 73%. Both of them are significantly higher in the younger group, without any differences between the other groups.
Conclusion: Elderly patients grafts have a similar performance compared to the 55-75 year-old group. Younger patients grafts are the ones that have shown best survival.
