Abstract
At the Department of Internal Medicine (Nefrology) of Tartu University Hospital patients with transplanted kidney were measured anthropometrically (females n-16, males n-12) two times: firstly after transplanting the kidney and secondly on average after 21 months. Changes of the body build were analyzed in the period of after transplanting. Certain increase of the body fat content was detected which was evidently caused by the reduction of uremic phenomena and the improvement of appetite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
