title: [Treatment of gastrointestinal hemorrhage in patients following kidney transplant].
abstract: In 179 patients there were 218 operations of transplantation of the cadaveric kidney. Gastro-intestinal hemorrhages were found to develop in 16 of them (8.9%) at different terms after operations. Four patients were reoperated, 3 of them died. Twelve patients were treated by conservative methods. Eight patients survived. The transplant was functioning in 6 of them. Analysis of the material showed the conservative treatment to be the method of choice in gastrointestinal hemorrhages in the posttransplantation period. In such cases the transplant function should be given up for the sake of the patient's life. Before transplantation it is necessary to select a group of "high risk" patients. Part of them should be treated by hemodialysis only.
