SUMMARY
1. Determine the cause of deterioration in renal function in renal transplant - pre-renal, intrinsic, post-renal.
2. Early failure - hyper-acute rejection due to pre-formed donour antibodies.
3. Failure within 3 mths - rejection, drug-induced toxicity, infection (CMV or BK virus), & recurrence of disease for which the kidney was transplanted (primary FSGS).
4. Inx - start workup by checking levels of immunosuppressant drugs: cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus. Screen for CMV and BK virus and obtain renal U/S. If these are normal renal biopsy is indicated.
5. Immunosuppression: Most patients are on "triple therapy" with CNI (or sirolimus), MMF, and a corticosteroid.
6. Urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sepsis are common events after renal transplant. Patients are given primary prophylaxis against Pneumocystis for 1 year post-transplant and against CMV for 3 months.
7. The main cause of death after kidney transplant is cardiovascular disease.
