This is outside my expertise, but you can divide the complications into associated with the operation and those related to the medications the patient takes after the operation to reduce the rejection rate.
Please discuss in detail w/ Nephrologist and Transplant Surgeon.
Complications; Infection (Urinary tract infection). Kidney stones formation, Kidney failure and eventually shot down requiring dialysis. Ischemia, or necrosis. Arteriosclerosis causing Renal Hypertension. Bleeding, embolism. Multi system failure.
