Post-transplant urological and vascular complication

Abstract EN

To determine the prevalence of urological and vascular complications in renal transplant recipients (RTx) at Tabriz Renal Transplant Center, we studied 55 recipients of renal allografts (25 male and 29 female patients with a mean age of 38.3 ± 13.4 years) from October 2005 to November 2006.

The surgical complications in our study included hematomas: 20.4%, renal artery stenosis: 20.4%, calculi: 7.4%, hydronephrosis or ureteral stricture: 5.6%, urinary leakage: 5.6%, lymphoceles: 1.9%, and renal vein thrombosis: 1.9%.

We conclude that the most common urologic complications in our center were ureteric strictures and urine leaks, and the most common vascular complication was renal artery stenosis.
