N2 - We evaluated the quality of life in renal transplant patients with poor functioning graft. Sixty-eight cases with functioning grafts and 44 patients on re-hemodialysis after graft rejection were assessed by medical questionnaires. Seventy-three subjects of total 112 (65.2%) were responded by mail to the survey concerning their quality of life. The responses were that they were totally satisfied with their life. Furthermore, in the 36 cases receiving re-hemodialysis after graft rejection, the influences of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, and diabetes mellitus were studied on the duration with poor graft function. The graft survival time from the point whose serum creatinine was increased beyond 3.0mg/dl put on re-hemodialysis, was relatively shortened when they have those complications.
