title: Medical issues in treating renal transplant patients.
abstract: As the survival of renal transplant patients has increased, so has their risk of significant morbidity. Immunosuppressive drugs can exacerbate preexisting conditions and promote development of new disease. Effective long-term care of transplant recipients requires an understanding of how these drugs affect clinical evaluations and treatments.
