Thirty-seven consecutive renal transplant recipients were studied prospectively for joint disease. Six developed arthralgias while corticosteroid doses were being lowered. Eleven patients (30%) developed knee effusions at a mean interval of 10 days following transplantation. Synovial fluids were colorless or very pale yellow, with few leukocytes (mean, 28/mm3). These benign transudative effusions did not correlate with immunologic abnormalities, transplant rejection, crystal deposition, or avascular necrosis and may have been due to high dose oral corticosteroid therapy.
对37例连续性肾移植受者进行了关节疾病的前瞻性研究。6例在降低皮质类固醇剂量时出现关节痛。11例患者（30%）在移植后平均10天出现膝关节积液。滑液无色或呈极淡黄色，白细胞很少（平均28/mm³）。这些良性漏出性积液与免疫异常、移植排斥、晶体沉积或无血管性坏死无关，可能是由于高剂量口服皮质类固醇治疗所致。
