A Well-Documented Case of Chronic Renal Failure Due to Misplacement of the Transplanted Kidney
نویسندگان
چکیده
There may be many reasons for the malfunctioning of transplanted organs. Percutaneous biopsy can easily be undertaken to give greater specificity to possible immunological causes of rejection. Acute venous or arterial thrombosis frequently leads to graft loss after a short period of anuria which justifies a diagnosis of vascular occlusion. This causes graft dysfunction or loss in 3.5% to 12.5% of cases. Progressive malperfusion with rising or stabilized serum creatinine at higher levels demands aggressive imaging investigation to exclude possible aneurismal formation, progressive stenosis, or vascular fistula. This paper reports a rare case of kinking of the main artery due to organ rotation occurring after a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant.

Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) disorder causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Missed diagnosis or relapse in transplanted kidney is common. We present a 36-year-old patient with a history of recurrent renal calculus which progressed to end-stage renal disease. He underwent kidney-transplant surgery. Renal function tests had worsening progressively at first-week post-transplant. Transplanted kidney...
متن کاملUSING THE INFERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY FOR THE THIRD RENAL RE-TRANSPLANTATION: A CASE REPORT
A 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. This procedure was performed in December 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. The first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. End-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimpl...
