title: [Pancreatitis following kidney transplantation].
abstract: Follow-up of 249 recipients of cadaver renal allografts revealed 14 cases of pancreatitis. The minimum follow-up time was 2 1/2 years and the maximum 12 1/2 years. In 9 patients acute pancreatitis occurred within 4 months, 5 died from hemorrhagic-necrotizing disease. Later, 2 lethal cases of abscess-forming pancreatitis, 1 benign acute and 2 chronic forms were observed. The mortality in post-transplant pancreatitis is 7 out of 14, which corresponds to 7% of all fatalities after transplantation. Many different factors contribute to the development of pancreatitis, the most important being steroid medication.
