Popis: SUMMARY 1. Twenty-six renal transplant patients are discussed, in whom there were 27 instances of urinary extravasation and 5 of ureteric obstruction. 2. The diagnostic significance of urinary infection and septiczmia in the presence of oliguria is noted, making pyelographic evaluation of the transplant mandatory. 3. In the presence of urinary extravasation, the value of immediate nephrostomy is stressed with adequate laying open of the wound to provide drainage. 4. Of the 27 patients discussed, 10 died from their urinary tract complications and one other kidney was lost.
