title: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in immunosuppressed women after renal transplantation.
abstract: All 26 immunosuppressed renal transplant females attending the Renal Unit at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow were screened by cervical cytology and colposcopy for evidence of cervical neoplasia. Five patients (19.2%) were discovered to have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, confirming the expected increase in this 'at risk' group. Regular cervical screening in these immunosuppressed women is recommended strongly.
