Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment modality in patients with ESKD. However, there are associated complications that arise from immunosuppressive medications, infections, and associated comorbidities. Neurologic disorders frequently develop in patients who have received a kidney transplant, which in turn increases the associated morbidity and mortality. This review discusses the common neurologic disorders after kidney transplantation, including infections, cognitive decline, drug-related conditions, malignancy, seizure, and other neurologic complications.
