Acute torsion of a renal transplant: cause of organ loss

P L Abbitt et al. Pediatr Nephrol. 1990 Mar.

Abstract

Acute torsion of a renal allograft has not been previously described as a cause of organ loss. We present a case of acute torsion of a transplanted kidney in a patient with prune-belly syndrome which led to renal necrosis, necessitating organ removal.
