Concurrent Kaposi's sarcoma, tuberculosis, and allograft dysfunction in a renal transplant patient.
The major long-term complications of renal transplantation (RT) include cardio-vascular disease, opportunistic infections, malignancies, and chronic allograft nephropathy. Long-term complications are generally considered as those occurring more than 1 year post trans-plantation; however, some of the complications can occur earlier. We present a 58-year-old man who presented with multiple complications of RT concurrently and relatively early post trans-plantation including Kaposi's sarcoma, tuberculosis and allograft dysfunction.
