[Early acute tubulointerstitial nephropathy in transplanted kidneys].
The authors investigated in a group of 124 patients the effect of acute tubular nephropathy and rejection on the period of functional persistence of transplanted kidneys. Transplants which developed tubulointerstitial nephropathy during the first two weeks after transplantation of the kidney had significantly lower cumulative indexes of survival for as long as the second year after transplantation. Grafts which were rejected during the first two weeks after transplantation had a significantly lower cumulative survival index only during the first and second year. The statistical significance was always tested in comparison with grafts where the postoperative course was uneventful. It is better to evaluate the functional prognosis of transplanted kidneys from the maximal achieved glomerular filtration after a load; it did not matter whether tubulointerstitial nephropathy or rejection was involved.
