Renal allograft in a professional boxer

Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2008 Mar;19(2):241-3.

Abstract

Significant health benefits result from regular physical activity for kidney transplant recipients. Nevertheless, some adverse effects also have been shown to be associated with highly intensive exercises. We report a kidney transplant professional boxer whose kidney allograft has remained in good health, despite his violent sport activities.
