Relationship between serum homocysteine and other parameters in renal transplant patients.

Introduction: Hyperhomocysteinemia frequently occurs after renal transplantation. We therefore assessed whether serum homocysteine (Hcy) concentrations were correlated with clinical, paraclinical, and arterial Doppler parameters among renal transplant patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 47 patients (30 males, 17 females) who received unrelated living donor renal transplants.
