Part of the book series: Current Clinical Urology ((CCU))

Abstract

This chapter reviews the most common urologic complications that may follow renal transplantation. The recognition of these complications, their proper diagnosis, and effective management can help reduce their deleterious effect on long-term graft survival. A practical approach to these complications is presented.
