title: Preparedness of patients to renal transplantation.
abstract: The outcome of renal transplantations depends to a considerable degree on the general condition of patients before the transplantation. The patients in the dialysis programme are regularly watched and any complications which might contraindicate the transplantation are recorded. Despite this, verging complications were repeatedly found which, by themselves, do not contraindicate the operation but may increase the risk of the operation and thereby the outcome of the transplantation. In the present study the general conditions of 38 patients coming from different dialysis centres in the Slovak Socialist Republic are assessed. These patients underwent renal transplantation at the Clinic of Urology in Bratislava.
