Medical Complications of Kidney Transplantation

by Claudio Ponticelli

The problems that a transplant patient face do not stop once the surgery is over; in addition to problems with the transplant itself, the host body reacts in a number of different ways to the arrival of a new organ and the immunosuppression required to sustain it. This text details the problems that a patient faces with a kidney transpland and looks at how a physician can treat these.
