Abstract:
The aim of the study was to establish causes of acute renal failure after renal transplantation and to investigate its influence on subsequent kidney function. Hundred sixty seven renal transplantations were performed at the Institute of Urology and Nephrology, Belgrade, from January 1988 to November 1991. Acute renal failure occurred in 29 patients. Monitoring of serum creatinine levels in acute renal failure patients in the first posttransplant year revealed significantly higher levels than in patients without acute renal failure in the immediate postoperative course. This indicates that acute renal failure significantly influences subsequent function of the transplanted kidney.
