Abstrakt:	Case Summary: A 5.5-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 2-year history of progressive chronic kidney disease. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed bilateral chronic renal degeneration, nephrolithiasis, cortical hyperechogenicity and infarction. Left orthotopic renal transplantation was performed using the Synovis vascular coupling system for end-to-end anastomosis of the renal arteries and veins. Two months after transplantation, renal values were elevated, and abdominal ultrasonography revealed hydronephrosis and hydroureter of the transplanted kidney. Fluoroscopic antegrade pyelography identified a proximal ureteral stricture. Proximal neoureterocystostomy was performed and renal values normalized postoperatively. The cat was re-evaluated for acute stranguria and severe azotemia 12 months later. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed severe hydronephrosis of the transplanted kidney, obstruction of the proximal ureter and adhesions to the urinary bladder. Upon exploration, retroperitoneal fibrosis was found covering the transplanted kidney. Given the clinical situation, a subcutaneous ureteral bypass device (SUB) was placed. Clinicopathologic analyses, trough cyclosporine levels, aerobic urine cultures and ultrasonographic evaluations of the transplanted kidney were monitored every 1-3 months. Patency of the SUB was reassessed every 3-6 months. At 15 months after placement, the SUB occluded due to kinking of the cystostomy catheter and was replaced. At 28 months after SUB placement, renal function and clinical status deteriorated, and the cat was euthanized. Relevance and Novel Information: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a SUB device being used for management of ureteral obstruction in a transplanted kidney in a cat. Competing Interests: The authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article. (© The Author(s) 2024.)
