KIDNEY TRANSPLANTION IN A MENTAL HEALTH PATIENT

This journal has previously published articles on the issue of kidney transplantation in mentally ill patients. The current case report highlights the issue of kidney transplantation in a patient suffering from a psychotic disorder. The case study describes a patient who, although he does not comply with his psychopharmacological treatment, fully complies with all medications pertaining to his physical illness. The conclusion from this case study is that mentally ill patients are not a homogenous group and we need to discuss each case independently, with regard to the complexities of each patient.
