Title
Altered Mental Status in the Solid Organ Transplant Recipient
Abstract
Altered mental status is common in the solid organ transplant recipient. A variety of etiologies, including infections, metabolic abnormalities, medications, malignancies, and rejection, can lead to altered mental status in a transplant patient. Timeline after transplantation as well as organ transplanted have significant impact on etiology. Detailed physical examination, comprehensive laboratory evaluation, and in many cases imaging can help elucidate the etiology. Urgent treatment of underlying etiology can improve prognosis.
