Abstract

The quality of clinical management in the early post-operative phase has an important influence on the outcome of renal transplantation. This chapter deals mainly with graft dysfunction as manifested by deteriorating renal function, but also examines post-transplant proteinuria. Some problems special to renal transplantation in children and the elderly are discussed.
