Abstract
The development and the progress of successful clinical renal transplantation in Japan depends upon the effective application of the kidney supply system and the recipient selection system. Especially, a successful renal transplant program must develop its own donor source.
Therefore, on the basis of experiences in Tokyo Women's Medical College, this report revealed the present status and some problems in the registration and selection of the recipients, the obtaining cadaver kidneys, and the transportation system of the kidneys. Conclusively, more important for the future will be the community's own efforts to obtain more kidneys and to apply the renal transplantation program.
