Associations of characteristics of renal transplant recipients with clinicians' perceptions of adherence to immunosuppressant therapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The impact of the age of the donor on the outcome of living related liver transplantation is yet to be clarified. METHODS:During October 14, 1996 and December 20, 1999, 34 living related liver transplantations were performed. Of these, 26 cases were performed using the extended left lobe graft, which were c...
