We present a 60-year-old female who underwent living unrelated renal transplantation from her 62-year-old husband. The primary immunosuppression consisted of tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and steroid. We did not recognize any rejection in a histopathological study. The total ischemic time to carry out anastomosis of the two renal arteries was 121 minutes. After hemodialysis 5 times for acute tubular necrosis, her renal function improved. She was discharged on the 33rd postoperative day when her serum cretinine level was 1.0 mg/dl. The graft function was stable at 6 months after transplantation. We discussed living unrelated renal transplantation in the elderly population in Japan.
