However, there are associated complications that arise from immunosuppressive medications, infections, and associated comorbidities. Neurologic disorders frequently develop in patients who have received a kidney transplant, which in turn increases the associated morbidity and mortality. This review discusses the common neurologic disorders after kidney transplantation, including infections, cognitive decline, drug-related conditions, malignancy, seizure, and other neurologic complications.
