Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Currently, the reports at home or abroad on central nervous system complications after kidney transplantation are rare.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical treatment of central nervous system complications after kidney transplantation.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 15 cases with central nervous system complications after kidney transplantation among the 277 cases that received in the First Affiliate Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2008 and August 2010.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among the 15 (5.41%) cases that suffered from central nervous system complications: diffuse encephalopathy in 7 cases (2.52%), cerebrovascular accident in 4 cases (1.44%), epilepsy in 3 cases (1.08%), central nervous system infection in 1 case (0.36%). The reasons of central nervous system complications after kidney transplantation are more complex, including infection, hypoxia, metabolic, electrolyte imbalance, postoperative rejection and immunosuppressive agents (calcineurin inhibitors).
