Hematological Complications After Renal Transplantation
Özet
Hematologic complications after renal transplantation are significant clinical issues that can occur in both the early and late post-transplant periods and directly affect patient prognosis. The most common of these complications include anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia; and their etiology involves surgical blood loss, graft dysfunction, immunosuppressive medications, infections, and nutritional deficiencies. Additionally, more specific conditions such as post-transplant erythrocytosis, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, and thrombotic microangiopathy may also be observed. Management focuses on addressing the underlying cause and includes modification of immunosuppression, treatment of infections, and targeted therapies when necessary. This section discusses the pathogenesis, diagnostic approach, and current treatment strategies for hematologic complications that develop after renal transplantation.
