Overview
Outstanding improvement in patients surviving with organ transplant was marked in last decade, in our case with kidney transplant. Let us try to summarize the all factors participating on this fact. Improvement of the immunosuppressive therapy, better surgical technique, better screening before transplantation, high quality of a postoperative care as well as correct and effective preparation before transplantation even before the necessity to start spare therapy using haemodialysis (HD) or continual ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The kidney transplantation (KT) is a surgical method combining techniques of vascular and urologic surgery. Urinary tract has important impact on transplant function. That is why detection of any urologic disease is mandatory. If the urologic disease is found, its correction or treatment is necessary as soon as possible.
KEY WORDS:
