Dynamics of serum minerals changes after renal transplantation.

In 27 patients surviving with transplanted cadaver kidneys for 12-107 months, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and creatinine serum levels, glomerular filtration rate and incidence of serum mineral levels pathological deviations following renal transplantation were evaluated. In early posttransplantation period hypercalcemia and hypomagnesemia developed in one fourth of the observed group of patients and hypophosphatemia in two thirds of patients. Expressive hypermagnesemia developed in one patient. Calcium and phosphorus levels gradually normalized, excluding rare exceptions; magnesium serum level exceeded an upper limit of normal values in majority of patients, nor to medicamentous treatment was stated.

Transplantation of pediatric kidneys into adult patients.

The authors are dealing with the problems of transplantation of pediatric kidneys into adult recipients. Kidneys obtained from children who died 1-3 year old can be both transplanted into one adult recipient. The authors used this method in transplantation of kidneys from 2 - year old donor into adult recipient.

The ureter in renal transplantation.

The outcome of kidney transplantation depends on several factors. The quality of the ureter of the transplanted kidney and the technique of its connection with the recipient's urinary tract seem to be two of the most important ones. In this paper the authors analyse the incidence of ureteral complications of the grafted kidney in 99 ureterocystoneostomies performed in conjunction with kidney transplantation. Urinary fistulas occurred in 7, stenosis of the ureter in 3 cases. The diagnostic possibilities and treatment of the complications are discussed.

Impaired tubular reabsorption of magnesium after renal transplantation.

Tubular reabsorption of magnesium ( TRMg ) was calculated from the values of plasma ultrafiltrable Mg and urinary Mg in 36 patients with transplanted kidneys. The study revealed a defect in TRMg in all investigated patients. The lowest TRMg values were found in patients with poor function of the transplanted kidneys. TRMg increased in relationship with the increment in glomerular filtration rate, nevertheless in the majority of the cases the TRMg values did not reach the values of healthy individuals.
