Abstract
Renal transplantation had its origins in Boston in the 1950s, when Dr. Joseph Murray performed the first successful renal transplant between identical twins in 1954. In 1955, Hume et al. reported on the first nine patients who received a renal allograft. This publication is the first to document the gross and microscopic features of unchecked acute rejection, which they illustrated in extensive detail. The choice of graft placement—the inner thigh, as noted in Fig. 5.1—also is interesting by today’s standards.
