Renal allograft failure related to a lower extremity vascular access--a case report.

Early renal transplant dysfunction can be caused by acute rejection, acute tubular necrosis (ATN), infection, ciclosporin toxicity, bleeding, urethral obstruction, urinary leak, lymphocele and thrombosis [1]. Prompt treatment of early allograft dysfunction is essential and therefore accurate diagnosis mandatory. We describe a patient with an unusual cause of allograft dysfunction, which was resolved by a simple surgical intervention.
