Urologic Experience in 48 Heart Transplant Recipients

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Urologic experience in heart transplant recipients as a population group has not been reported. METHODS: We reviewed the charts of 48 consecutive heart transplant recipients who were evaluated and treated in our outpatient urologic clinic. Patients were treated for various urologic conditions by both medical and surgical means. RESULTS: No major complications were encountered. CONCLUSIONS: Heart transplant recipients may be treated with minimal morbidity; thus, their urologic complaints should be addressed and treated with confidence.
