title: Tubulointerstitial dysfunction in early post-transplant period.
abstract: Dysfunction of a transplanted kidney may develop at any time in the post-transplant period. The aim of this study was to differentiate levels of early dysfunction of a transplanted kidney. The study included 45 examinees undergoing kidney transplantation. They were divided into four groups, in regard to length of hospitalization and post-transplant complications: group I (up to 15 days, complication-free); group II (up to 15 days, with complications); group III (up to 30 days); group IV (up to 60 days). The control group included patients undergoing abdominal surgery, without uropoetic system disorders. The following parameters were examined on a daily basis a month after transplantation on average: creatinine clearance, creatinine and urea. Statistical analysis of these parameters revealed the following levels of renal dysfunction: control group--circulatory tubular dysfunction without azotemia; group I--polyuric acute tubular necrosis; group II and group III--severe or moderately severe polyuric acute tubular necrosis and group IV--polyuric acute tubular necrosis.
