Abstract
Patients with bilateral renal carcinoma or malignancy in a solitary ki deny are best managed by radical nephrectomy with subsequent dialysis and transplantation. Because of the risk of recurrence of the tumour, the timing of the transplant procedure is important. We report on two patients with bilateral renal carcinoma who were subjected to radical nephrectomy and then managed with dialysis and transplantation within 6 months.
