[Depression following kidney transplantation].

47 patients with a renal transplant were investigated psychopathometrically by various self-rating scales on their emotional and subjective somatic state. It was found that at the time of the investigation 9% of the patients had depressive syndromes which were characterized by complaints about various somatic disturbances. In the personality inventory (FPI) 3 psychopathologically different groups could be found: 1. anxious or dysphoric depressive patients (16%), 2. euphoric patients with lack of criticism (47%). A third emotionally not impaired group was only somatically disturbed (21%). The results are compared to those of a former investigation in chronic hemodialysis patients.

[Frequency and appearance of depressive syndromes in chronic hemodialysis patients (author's transl)].

83 chronic hemodialysis patients of a dialysis-transplantation program were investigated psychopathometrically by various self-rating scales on their emotional and subjective somatic state. It was found that at the time of the investigation 20% of the patients had depressive syndroms which were characterized by complaints about various somatic disturbances. Suicidal tendencies were seen in 8% of the patients. In the personality inventory (FPI) 3 psychopathologically different groups could be found: 1. anxious, more retarded depressive patients (16%), 2. dysphoric, more out-acting depressive patients (14%), 3. euphoric patients with lack of criticism (35%). A fourth emotionally normal group was only somatically disturbed (25%). Various pathogenetic aspects are discussed.
