&lt;div&gt;===Immunosuppressant Medications===&lt;br /&gt;
*Balance between immune suppression, rejection and susceptibility to infection&lt;br /&gt;
*Typical regimen includes: calcineurin inhibitor + antimetabolite + steroid&lt;br /&gt;
**Calcineurin inhibitor&lt;br /&gt;
***Cyclosporine&lt;br /&gt;
***Tacrolimus&lt;br /&gt;
**Antimetabolite&lt;br /&gt;
***Azathioprine&lt;br /&gt;
***Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;===Types of [[Transplant complications]]===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Immediate (0-1 week)&lt;br /&gt;
**Acute Tubular Necrosis&lt;br /&gt;
***May be post-ischemic, commonly effecting both the proximal tubules and the thick ascending limb. Or it may be immunosupresive drug induced and only effect the proximal tubules.  Granular &amp;quot;muddy brown casts&amp;quot; seen on urinalysis result from death and sloughing of tubular cells. &lt;br /&gt;
**Antibody mediated rejection&lt;br /&gt;
***Results from donor specific antibodies including as ABO isoagglutinins. &lt;br /&gt;
***Usually results in graft loss within 24 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
**Embolization and Thrombosis &lt;br /&gt;
***May arise with or without rejection&lt;br /&gt;
***May result from hypotension, anastomotic stenosis, arterial dissection, kinking of transplanted artery, or angulation of the vein&lt;br /&gt;
**Calcium Oxalate deposition&lt;br /&gt;
**Delayed graft function&lt;br /&gt;
***This is defined as renal failure persisting after transplantation necessitating dialysis.  It my be due to post-ischemic acute tubular necrosis, volume depletion, or volume depletion.  &lt;br /&gt;
**Urinary bladder dysfunction&lt;br /&gt;
***This complication is especially common in diabetics and may cause hydronephrosis &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Early (1-12 weeks)&lt;br /&gt;
**Acute rejection&lt;br /&gt;
***Antibodies against donor kidney develop after transplant&lt;br /&gt;
***Dense interstitial lymphocytic infiltrate &lt;br /&gt;
***Prevent/reverse with immunosuppressants &lt;br /&gt;
**Immunosuppressive Cytotoxicity &lt;br /&gt;
***Usually caused by calcineurin inhibitor toxicity&lt;br /&gt;
***Reverse by decrease dosage of immunosuppressants &lt;br /&gt;
**Infection&lt;br /&gt;
***Most commonly polyoma (BK virus) or cytomegalovirus (CMV)&lt;br /&gt;
***Polyoma virus is treated with intravenous immunoglobulins &lt;br /&gt;
***CMV is treated with antivirals medications&lt;br /&gt;
**Recurrence of primary disease&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Late Acute (greater than 3 months)&lt;br /&gt;
**Hypertension&lt;br /&gt;
***Hypertension is common in ESRD/CKD patients and often worsens after transplant &lt;br /&gt;
***Can result in decreased allograft survival&lt;br /&gt;
**Renal artery stenosis &lt;br /&gt;
***Important to identify because is a correctible cause of post-transplant hypertension&lt;br /&gt;
**Acute Rejection&lt;br /&gt;
***Same as above&lt;br /&gt;
**Immunosuppressive cytotoxicity &lt;br /&gt;
***Same as above &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Late Chronic (years later)&lt;br /&gt;
**Chronic allograft nephropathy &lt;br /&gt;
***Irreversible T-cell and antibody mediated damage&lt;br /&gt;
***Causes vascular fibrosis&lt;br /&gt;
**Immunosuppressive cytotoxicity&lt;br /&gt;
***Same as above&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
