CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS FOR UROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

Transplantation occupies one of the first places in the priorities of global health care of the 21st century. Kidney transplantation is the gold standard treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. Urological complications remain the most common type of surgical complications in the early post-transplant period. Despite significant advances in the field of transplantation, a small proportion of kidney transplants are still lost due to urological problems. Of key importance for early detection is a comprehensive preoperative urological examination of potential donors and recipients with the identification of predictors of urological complications. The prognosis is usually favorable if the disease is recognized and started in a timely manner. The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the various causal relationships and risk factors for urological complications after kidney transplantation.
