Early posttransplant erythrocytosis in renal allograft recipients

Abstract

Posttransplant erythrocytosis (PTE) is defined as a persistently elevated hematocrit to a level greater than 51% after renal transplantation. It usually develops 8 to 24 months after transplantation. We report occurrence of PTE in two male renal allograft recipients within first 8 months of transplantation. © JAPI.
