1. More than 90% of long-term grafts were first transplants. 2. The percentage of long-term transplants from living-related donors decreased from 78% in the years prior to 1968 to 42% in the 1973-1977 period. 3. More than 60% of living-related long-term grafts were from sibling donors. 4. Among long-term survivors, there was no difference from the expected rates in the percentage of red blood cell groups. 5. HLA-A,B matching resulted in significant improvement in graft survival rates for both cadaver donor and related transplants.
