Abstract

Renal artery stenosis is observed in 1-23% of the transplanted kidneys. It may result in graft dysfunction and hypertension but anuria is rare in patients with graft renal artery stenosis. We report a case of proximal transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) in a renal transplant recipient presenting with anuria and hemodialysis requirement in the fourth month of transplantation who completely recovered after renal artery revascularization.
