Abstract:
After successful renal transplantation, seven diabetic renal failure patients with severe coronary artery disease returned to productive employment. Despite the requirement for additional peripheral vascular or ophthalmologic surgery in four patients, their renal function remained adequate. Following transplantation, diabetic complications included angina in three, myocardial infarction in three, and cerebrovascular accident in two patients. Two patients with adequate renal function died suddenly at 29 and 62 mo. Despite severe coronary artery disease, an increasing number of diabetic dialysis patients may be able to return to work after a successful kidney transplant.
