Abstract:
Renal transplants are becoming more and more frequent in the United States and worldwide. Studies demonstrate that these patients inevitably end up visiting an emergency department. In addition to typical medical and surgical problems encountered in the general population, this group of patients has unique problems arising from their immunocompromised state and also due to side effects of the medications required. This article discusses these risks and management decisions that the emergency department physician should be aware of in order to prevent adverse outcomes for the patient and transplanted kidney.
