  • Title: The urological complications of 1000 renal transplants.
    Author: Mundy AR, Podesta ML, Bewick M, Rudge CJ, Ellis FG.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1981 Oct; 53(5):397-402. PubMed ID: 7025951.
    Abstract:
    Two hundred and one urological complications have been diagnosed and treated in 123 transplant recipients in a series of 1000 consecutive renal transplant operations (overall incidence 12.5%). Obstructive uropathies and urinary fistulae accounted for 95% of these complications and all of the mortality (22%). Details of management and patient and graft survival are given. A relationship between mortality from a urological complication and steroid dosage was found. A 30% incidence of recurrent or secondary urological complications was also noted with correspondingly worsened prognosis. Early diagnosis followed by early aggressive surgical treatment is advocated.
