Abstract:
Urinary tract complications continue to be a major cause of morbidity in renal transplant patients. This paper is a review of the urological complications developed in in 200 renal transplants performed in our service over a 10-year period, from January 1980 to December 1989, with a follow-up of at least 1 year. We include a total of 29.5% urological complications, subdivided in two sections each corresponding to a distinct period during which different procedures were used in the renal transplantation unit. The report includes an analysis of the complications' etiopathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic factors.
