[Structure of the causes of fatal outcome and functional disorder of grafts in patients following kidney transplantation].
The postmortem analysis of 146 kidney transplantations that have been performed in the Latvian centre for kidney transplantation from 1974 to 1980 is presented. The following three groups of complications as the direct causes of death are found: the complications of the immunosuppressive therapy, those of uncorrected arterial hypertension and uremic complications. These results indicate the necessity of a rational approach to the choice of immunosuppressant doses, the control and correction of the arterial pressure as well as an early programmed hemodialysis of patients with non-functioning transplanted kidneys.
