Abstract

In a retrospective analysis of 125 patients and a prospective evaluation of 83 patients with terminal uremia undergoing kidney transplantation, juvenile diabetes mellitus was found to be a significant risk factor for the development of postoperative thromboembolism. We found a high frequency of objectively verified thromboembolism despite the relatively young age of the patients. Besides diabetes, no other clinical risk factor differed between patients with and without thrombosis.

Abstract

In a retrospective study of 125 transplanted patients, 8.8% developed thromboembolism (diagnosed with objective methods) during the first year after transplantation. In one patient pulmonary embolism was the cause of death and in one it was contributory. The thromboembolism developed rather late after transplantation. The side of the transplant did not determine the site of the thrombosis. Juvenile diabetes mellitus was found to be a significant risk factor.
