Özet

Noncompliance with regard to diet, medications and routine physician visits is frequently observed among some patient groups. This results in late graft dysfunction and behavior loss. In the present study, we defined compliance as attendance at 80% or more outpatient visits. The study included 63 cadaveric and 158 living-related renal transplant recipients namely, 150 men and 76 women of 8 to 70 years of age (median 38 +/- 12) who were operated between 1986 and 2001.
