Complications after kidney transplantation are complicated, mainly including rejection reaction, infection, hyperuricemia and so on.
Rejection reaction is the most common complication after kidney transplantation, which is mainly caused by the immune system’s immune reaction to foreign organs or foreign substances. It will lead to different degrees of tissue swelling, pain, fever, or atrophy of the transplanted organ, etc., and will also be accompanied by immune damage.
Meanwhile, due to the large surgical wound and damage area formed by kidney transplantation, it is easy to cause wound infection in the early recovery process due to improper care or the existence of open injury. If purine metabolism is abnormal after kidney transplantation, it will cause hyperuricemia, which will further aggravate the body damage.
There are many kinds of complications after kidney transplantation, and some of them are more harmful, so we need to take good postoperative care and regular checkups under the doctor’s guidance.
