Abstract: To prevent rejection of kidney transplants, patients must be kept in

immunosuppressive therapy for a long time, which includes the use of drugs such as

cyclosporine, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and prednisone. The action of these drugs

reduces the general immune response of transplant patients and thus increases their

susceptibility to infections. Moreover, these drugs increase the potential of developing lesions.

Therefore, oral hygiene in kidney transplant recipients contributes to maintenance of the

transplanted organ and its function. Thus, an investigation of oral lesions could be counted as a

notable work. The aim of this study was to investigate oral lesions in a group of 21 kidney

transplant patients under immunosuppressive therapy attended during a 1-year period in the

Nephrology Department of the Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil. Data related to sex, age,

etiology of renal disease, types of renal transplant, time elapsed after transplantation,

immunosuppressive treatment, use of concomitant agents, and presence of oral lesions were

obtained. All patients received a kidney transplant from a living donor, and the mean

posttransplantation follow-up time was 31.6 months; 71.5% used triple immunosuppressive

therapy with cyclosporine A, azathioprine, and prednisone. Ten patients were also treated with

calcium-channel blockers. Of the 21 transplant patients, 17 (81%) presented oral lesions.

Gingival overgrowth was the most common alteration, followed by candidiasis and superficial

ulcers. One case of spindle cell carcinoma of the lower lip was observed. Oral cavity can harbor

a variety of manifestations related to renal transplantation under immunosuppressive therapy.
