Abstrakt: Renal vein thrombosis is a rare, but potentially serious complication in patients with renal transplantation as it can lead to non-reversible graft injury and failure. Often this clinical entity is found in the early transplantation period, and the available management strategies are associated with favourable patient outcomes. The incidence, pathophysiology and outcomes for the delayed occurrence of renal vein thrombosis are unknown. The case here describes a unique situation with an excellent clinical outcome related to early diagnosis and appropriate care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
