Lam NN, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers investigated the risk and complications of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in kidney transplant recipients from 2003 to 2013, using linked healthcare databases in Ontario, Canada. A sevenfold higher risk of VTE was reported for kidney transplant recipients, compared to the general population. Furthermore, it was noted that VTE conferred an increased risk of death and graft loss.
