AB  - Renal  transplants  are  among  the  most  common  solid  organ  transplants  with  a  steady  rise  in  their  numbers,  particularly  over  the  recent  years.1  Some  reports  suggest  that  about  9  out  10  transplant  recipients  experience  some  form  of  neurological  symptoms.2  Other  reports  indicate  that  30–60%  of  postrenal  transplant  individuals  may  develop  some  neurological  complications,3  with  an  estimated  prevalence  rate  of  8%.4  The  central  neurological  complications  may  have  similar  clinical  presentations  despite  their  diverse  etiologies.  Further,  these  complications  are  frequently  associated  with  a  higher  rate  of  morbidity  and  mortality.  Thus,  early  recognition  and  treatment  can  prevent  or  limit  life-threatening  sequelae  associated  with  these  complications  and  optimize  the  clinical  outcome.4,5  In  this  chapter  we  review  the  central  and  peripheral  neurological  complications  following  renal  transplant,  including  those  related  to  immunosuppressants.
