@entity1 with @entity8 ( @entity8 ) have previously been shown to have an increased incidence of @entity532 after renal transplantation. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of @entity4436 in the @entity8 population. We retrospectively reviewed @entity1 with advanced @entity8 , defined as @entity454 requiring dialysis. @entity1 were obtained from a single nephrology group practice between January 1985 and January 1997, or from all @entity1 being evaluated or actively considered for renal transplantation at our institution as of May 1997. The incidence and severity of @entity4436 in these @entity1 was compared with that observed in a similar cohort of @entity1 with @entity454 due to other etiologies. The study population consisted of 184 @entity177 @entity1 , 59 with @entity8 and 125 with other causes of @entity454 . Twelve (20%) @entity1 with @entity8 had a history of active @entity4436 , whereas only 4 (3%) of the non- @entity8 controls had @entity4436 (P = 0.0003, Fisher's exact test). Six of the 12 @entity8 @entity1 required surgical intervention. @entity1 with @entity177 due to @entity8 experience a significantly higher rate of @entity4436 than do other @entity1 with @entity454 . Furthermore, @entity4436 is frequently severe in @entity8 @entity1 , with 50 per cent requiring surgical intervention. These data suggest that @entity66 may be an extrarenal manifestation of @entity8 .
