Abstract:
Urinary tract complications, manifesting as leakage or obstruction, generally occur in 3.0~13% of renal recipients. Most complications occur at the ureterovesical anastomosis and are secondary to technical causes and ureteric ischemia. Ultrasound and computed tomographic images are described in a recipient who underwent oversea deceased donor renal transplantation and presented with recurrent ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis secondary to combination of unusually located transplant kidney, long-coiled ureter, ureteric compression and ischemia of the transplant ureter.
