The major long-term complications of renal transplantation (RT) include cardiovascular disease, opportunistic infections, malignancies, and chronic allograft nephropathy. Longterm complications are generally considered as those occurring more than 1 year post transplantation; however, some of the complications can occur earlier. We present a 58-year-old man who presented with multiple complications of RT concurrently and relatively early post transplantation including Kaposi's sarcoma, tuberculosis and allograft dysfunction. |
