    AbstractThe number of kidney transplant recipients has grown incrementally over the years. These patients have a high comorbidity index and require special attention to immunosuppression management. In addition, this population has an increased risk for cardiovascular events, electrolyte abnormalities, allograft dysfunction, and infectious complications. It is vital for hospitalists and internists to understand the risks and nuances in the care of this increasingly prevalent, but also high-risk, population.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
