Infectious complications after kidney transplantation

MUDr. Silvie Rajnochová Bloudíčková, Ph.D., DBA
Klinika nefrologie TC IKEM, Praha

Infections are the main complications of kidney transplantation with the crucial impact on graft and patient surival. Infectious complications arise as a result of a relationship between patogen exposure, state of immune system, level of immunosuppressive therapy and patient's comorbities. Prevention, diagnosis and adequate therapeutical approach play the key role for amelioration of transplant outcomes.

Keywords: infection, kidney transplantation, epidemiology, diagnosis, prophylaxis.
