چکیده

BACKGROUND Percutaneous needle biopsy is routinely performed for renal allograft management. Vascular complications of the procedure include pseudoaneurysm and arterio-venous fistulae formation. Delayed diagnosis of these complications is due to their mostly asymptomatic and indolent nature. CASE REPORT We present a case of extensive intraparenchymal pseudoaneurysm formation within the inferior pole of the allograft, diagnosed two years following the most recent biopsy procedure. CONCLUSIONS Renal pseudoaneurysms may only be diagnosed years after their formation as they are typically asymptomatic.

Pseudoaneurysm with severe haematuria in renal allograft after renal biopsy treated by percutaneous embolization.

A 61-year-old lady received a cadaveric renal transplant in March 1996. On the seventh post-operative day, a renal allograft biopsy was performed under ultrasound guidance. The patient developed severe haematuria requiring a 2-U blood transfusion. Duplex scanning demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm (2.532.9 cm) at the upper pole of the kidney (Figure 1). Arteriography demonstrated two pseudoaneurysms...

Arteriovenous malformation in a kidney allograft

Arteriovenous aneurysms may be congenital (arteriovenous malformation, AVM) or acquired (arteriovenous fistula, AVF). AVFs after a renal transplant biopsy are seldom, but well recognized, usually harmless complications [1]. Congenital AVMs are usually of the cirsoid (racemose) type [2], characterized by a tangle of tortuous vessels of small diameter, with multiple varix-like communications betw...

Regulatory T Cell Subtypes and TGF-β1 Gene Expression in Chronic Allograft Dysfunction

Background: Regulatory T cells have been suggested to have a protective role against acute rejection in allograft recipients. However, there is little information available about their contribution to chronic rejection process. The role of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF- β1) as a profibrogenic and/or immunoregulatory cytokine in renal allografts is also controversial. Objectives: To eva...
