Abstract In September 1998, a 48 year old male underwent bilateral renal transplantation from a 51 year old non-heart beating donor (NHBD) with ischemic heart disease. The grafts exhibited delayed graft function, otherwise short term results have been good, with a three month serum creatinine of 80 μmol/l, three month GFR of 79 ml/min per 1.73m2 BSA, and no episodes of acute rejection. We advocate dual transplantation when sub-optimal NHBD kidneys are otherwise in danger of being discarded.
