Significant Improvement of Cardiac Dysfunction After Kidney Transplant: A Case Report

OpenAlex İngilizce

Kidney transplant is known to reverse cardiac dysfunction in patients with end-stage renal disease, and low ejection fraction in kidney transplant candidates is considered to be a contraindication for transplant. We present a significant improvement in cardiac dysfunction after successful kidney transplant in a 21-year-old male recipient. Kidney transplant may be beneficial for cardiac function in transplant recipients who have impaired cardiac function prior to the procedure and caused by uremic toxins.
