Acute Allograft Renal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report

Saif Ahmed Khan et al. Oman Med J. 2014 Sep.

Abstract

Renal graft thrombosis is a serious and devastating complication of renal transplant that ultimately results in graft loss. It is associated with acute and hyper-acute rejections; however, the underlying cause in large proportion of patients remains unknown. We report a case of a young male who underwent live related kidney transplant but lost the graft on the operating table due to renal vein thrombosis (RVT).

Keywords: Graft; Kidney; Loss; Thrombosis; Transplant.
