Little attention has been paid in the literatures to the prevalence of somatic comorbidity in kidney transplant recipients. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of somatic Comorbidities after kidney transplantation.In this cross-sectional study, 119 kidney transplant recipients were assessed for comorbidities by using Ifudu comorbidity index. This numerical index is used to evaluate comorbidities in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. This index evaluates the presence of 13 chronic illnesses. Correlation of Ifudu score with demographic and clinical data was also assessed. Of these patients, 90.4% had at least one somatic comorbidity. The mean (SD) comorbidity score was 5.17 ± 4.50. The most frequent comorbidities were: non-ischemic heart diseases, including hypertension, (n=75, 63%); visual disturbances (n= 42, 35.2%); low-back pain, spine and joints disorders (n=30, 25.21%) and musculoskeletal disorders (n=28, 23.5%). Higher comorbidity score was significantly correlated with lower economic status (p<0.05), but not with age, sex, marital status, educational level, cause and duration of ESRD. The prevalence of somatic comorbodities in kidney transplant patients seems to be high. Treatment of comorbidities may improve the quality of life following kidney transplantation. Regarding the high prevalence of non-ischemic heart diseases, visual disturbances and spine and joints disorders, they deserve a special attention.
