Abstract
Purpose of review: This review will focus on the epidemiological data, risk factors, and management of stroke before and after kidney transplant. Stroke is highly prevalent in waitlisted patients as well as kidney transplant recipients and is associated with impaired transplant outcomes. Multiple traditional, nontraditional, and transplanted risk factors increase the risk of stroke.
Recent findings: Although the risk of stroke is reduced after kidney transplantation compared with remaining on dialysis, the morbidity and mortality from stroke after transplantation remain significant.
Summary: Early screening for risk factors before and after a kidney transplant and following the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) management guidelines could minimize the incidence of stroke and transplant outcomes.
