title: [Depression following kidney transplantation].
abstract: 47 patients with a renal transplant were investigated psychopathometrically by various self-rating scales on their emotional and subjective somatic state. It was found that at the time of the investigation 9% of the patients had depressive syndromes which were characterized by complaints about various somatic disturbances. In the personality inventory (FPI) 3 psychopathologically different groups could be found: 1. anxious or dysphoric depressive patients (16%), 2. euphoric patients with lack of criticism (47%). A third emotionally not impaired group was only somatically disturbed (21%). The results are compared to those of a former investigation in chronic hemodialysis patients.
