Forty-three out of 204 children received their first renal transplant without prior dialysis. In order to evaluate the outcome of pre-emptive transplantation, two groups were compared retrospectively. The groups consisted of 28 children who received their transplants either without prior dialysis (N
Whole blood levels of Cd and Pb (microgram/g Hb), serum concentrations of Sr and Zn and their urinary excretion were measured in healthy, renal transplant and dialyzed children by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Furthermore, before and after dialysis the concentrations of these elements were determi
