title: [Multidisciplinary aspects of kidney transplantation in Austria. Internal preoperative examinations of continuously dialysed patients during the pre-transplantation phase].
abstract: Successful renal transplantation requires a comprehensive preoperative program. Patient's investigation, EKG and laboratory data should be done at regular intervals. Microbiologic analyses comprise fungal, bacterial and viral diagnostic procedures. Roentgenograms should be achieved from thorax, skeleton and upper intestinal tract. Sonography is helpful in diagnosis of kidney, liver, spleen, pancreas, parathyreoidea and heart. Early manifestations of hyperparathyreoidism are detected by bone scanning. Possible foci have to be eliminated. Regular ophthalmologic and neurologic controls are required for proper therapy of patients on RDT.
