Description
Summary:	Classic post-transplant complications are highly studied and monitored; however, other unusual complications may occur due to immunosuppression. The objective of this study is to show these rare complications in a kidney transplant center. Retrospective, observational, longitudinal study of renal transplants carried out from 2013 to 2017 in the Renal Transplant Unit of the National Medical Center Siglo XXI. A total of 790 transplants were performed, with surveillance for 1 year and rare events described. An analysis of frequencies and percentages of the events was performed using the statistical package SPSS version 25. Of the 790 patients, 110 (13.92%) experienced rare events, classified into 9 types of complications. Complications exist in renal transplantation that are often ignored or minimized. A considerable number have been observed in this study, 110 events (13.92%); this result allows us to consider multiple possibilities in a kidney transplant program, especially infectious complications (34 patients) and surgical complications (29 cases). With the increase in diabetic receptor transplantation, metabolic complications will surely increase in the coming years.
