AI Article Synopsis

  • Anaemia is a common complication following kidney transplantation, influenced by factors like blood loss, iron deficiency, and medications.
  • Factors contributing to post-transplant anaemia include inflammation, bone marrow suppression, and complications like viral infections and allograft dysfunction.
  • Persistent aplastic anaemia post-transplant may be linked to parvovirus B19 infection.

Article Abstract

Anaemia belongs to the most frequent, mutlifactorial complications after kidney transplantation. Blood loss during surgery, iron deficiency, inflammation, bone marrow suppression by immunosuppressants and antiviral medication, use of angiotensin-converting enzyme and/or angiotensin receptor blockers, hyperparathyroidism, allograft dysfunction and at last viral infections participate in the development of posttransplant anaemia. Persistent aplastic anaemia after kidney transplantation could be caused by parvovirus 819 infection.
