Clinical Implications of Unexpected High Glomerular Filtration Rate After Renal Transplantation
Chapter
Abstract
We have studied the incidence and the clinical significance of high glomerular filtration rate(HGFR) that can appear in some patients after renal transplantation.From 234 functioning renal transplants 17% of them presented HGFR even on Cyclosporine therapy.The only difference with patients with normal GFR was that HGFR patients showed a better Creatinine Clearance at the end of first posttransplant month and patients on Cyclosporine exhibited a shorter renal function recovery time. Now, the clinical significance of HGFR are unknown.
