Abstract
BACKGROUND: In renal transplant recipients, evaluation of pulmonary complications and investigation of reduction interventions are important due to the potentially fatal results of pulmonary complications after transplant surgery. However, data are lacking about pulmonary complications in renal transplant recipients with living- or deceased-renal donors. Therefore, we aimed to assess the pulmonary complications in living- versus deceased-donor renal transplant recipients.
