Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical feature on pulmonary complications after renal transplantation,in order to provide the evidence of prevention and treatment of pulmonary complications.Methods The clinical data of 125 renal transplant re-cipients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from December 2006 to December 2011 were studied retro-spectively.To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of postoperative pulmonary complications including the incidence, the time of onset,etiology or risk factors,treatment,outcome,et al.Results Twenty-three patients(18.4%)developed pulmonary complications after renal transplantation.The most frequent complication was pulmonary infection(n = 22,17.6%),followed by pleural effusion(n=12,9.6%),pulmonary edema(n= 7,5.6%),respiratory tract bleeding(n=4,3.2%),acute lung graft versus host reaction(n=1,0.8%)and atelectasis(n= 1,0.8%).Conclusion Pulmonary infection,pleural effusion and pulmonary edema are common pulmonary complications after renal transplantation.Patients who develop pulmonary infection and pulmonary edema have a poor prognosis.
