[The bilateral nephrectomy in terminal renal disease (author's transl)].

Abstract
45 cases of nephrectomy are reported. Mortality was 8.9%. Thirty-one had a drug-resistant, severe hypertension, three had infected kidneys, and in eleven cases nephrectomy was performed prior to transplantation. Although blood pressure improved in all patients, of the first group 24% died within one year after nephrectomy, which shows unsatisfactory prognosis of malignant nephrosclerosis. Only early nephrectomy can lead to better results. Routine nephrectomy before transplantation should be avoided. Indications for this group are discussed.
