    • Understanding the psychometric profile of these patients is crucial for comprehensive care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the emotional and subjective somatic states of renal transplant patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Psychometric assessment using various self-rating scales.
    • Personality inventory (FPI) analysis to categorize patients.
    • Comparison with a previous study on chronic hemodialysis patients.

    Main Results:

    • 9% of renal transplant patients exhibited depressive syndromes with somatic complaints.
    • Three distinct psychopathological groups were identified: anxious/dysphoric depressive (16%), euphoric with lack of criticism (47%), and emotionally unimpaired but somatically disturbed (21%).

    Conclusions:

    • Renal transplant patients present with diverse psychological and somatic disturbances.
    • Psychometric profiling can differentiate patient subgroups requiring tailored interventions.
    • Findings highlight the need for integrated mental health support in post-transplant care.
