We report successful outcome following renal transplantation from a 7-week-old DCD donor, with 1-year follow-up.The donor was a 7-week-old infant weighing 5 kg whose cause of death was hypoxic brain injury. The recipient was a 22-year-old female who had end-stage renal failure secondary to familial IgA nephropathy and been on peritoneal dialysis for over a year. … ER -
