Which of the following statement(s) is/are true concerning renal transplantation?
A. Living-related donor transplants typically can be expected to have one-year graft survival rates of over 90%
B. Preconditioning of the recipient with the use of donor-specific blood transfusions from their living donor improves graft survival and therefore should be used routinely
C. Pre-transplant blood transfusions result in improved graft survival following cadaveric renal transplant in the cyclosporine era
D. Age of the recipient over 50 years is generally associated with a poorer outcome due to graft rejection
