[Complication during the period of anuria after cadaveric transplantation--with special reference to wound bleeding].
Some period of anuria is usually expected after cadaveric renal transplantation, and hemodialysis is necessary during the period. Postoperative bleeding in the anuric period is not uncommon and usually can be easily controlled with adequate conservative treatment. However, it becomes uncontrollable in some cases and causes a series of serious complications. Out of 22 patients having undergone cadaveric renal transplantation in our hospital, six patients had postoperative bleeding. On investigation of these cases, we found that not only a hemorrhagic tendency due to uremia but also hemodialysis is a risk factor of bleeding in the wound.
