KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

Abstract

Introduction. Oral hygiene in kidney transplant recipients contributes to maintenance of the transplanted organ and its function. Thus, an investigation of oral lesions could be counted as a notable work. These patients have the potential to be involved with lesions developed as a result of the administration of immunosuppressive drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate oral lesions in a group of kidney transplant recipients.Materials and Methods. The present study was a cross-sectional research on 100 patients with a kidney transplant for at least 3 months. Oral mucosa was assessed clinically for any lesion. Additional data on systemic diseases, transplant duration, and medications were recorded.Results. Twenty-four percent of the patients had at least 1 oral lesion. The most common lesion was ORAL CANDIDIASIS in 16% of the participants (13 cases of acute pseudo membranous and 3 cases of chronic ORAL CANDIDIASIS). Gingival enlargement was seen in 7% of the kidney transplant recipients, and 2% had a coated tongue.Conclusions. Elimination of oral fungal lesions in kidney transplant recipients is highly recommended. We hope this study can shed light on this particular aspect of healthcare in kidney transplant recipients.
