Transplant renal artery stenosis without hypertension: A case report

Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis

Renal transplant artery stenosis.

Renal transplant artery stenosis is a relatively frequent complication after transplantation, with an incidence of up to 23% being reported. The gold standard for the diagnosis still remains renal arteriography. Several imaging techniques are available to confirm the diagnosis (duplex-Doppler, nuclear magnetic resonance, spiral computerized tomography), and their use depends, in part, on the ce...

A Case Report of Renal Artery Variation

Awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. In 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through t...

Acute transplant renal artery thrombosis due to distal renal artery stenosis: A case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND Acute renal artery thrombosis is a devastating complication of renal transplantation that can result in graft loss if not detected early. Surgical and technical errors are the major cause of renal artery thrombosis. In this article, for the first time, we are reporting a case of acute renal artery thrombosis that developed early post-transplantation due to distal renal artery stenosi...

Reversible renal failure due to captopril in a patient with transplant artery stenosis. Case report.

A patient who was subsequently shown to have stenosis of the artery to a transplanted kidney sustained three episodes of impaired renal function during treatment with low doses of captopril. On each occasion this was reversed by withdrawal of therapy. The effect was not related to reduction of blood pressure since lower pressures were recorded during treatment with minoxidil, without deteriorat...
