| Popis: | Emphysematous pyelonephritis in renal transplant allograft occurs rarely. This is a case report on a 55-year-old man who had renal transplantation in 1983 and developed post-transplant diabetes mellitus in 1984. This patient suffered from fever and right low abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed as emphysematous pyelonephritis by computerized tomography. He was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage, percutaneous nephrostomy and parenteral antibiotics. Although the management of emphysematous pyelonephritis has been a subject of controversy, we recommend consideration of renal preservation in patients with few risk factors, especially in those patients presenting with chronic renal insufficiency, solitary kidney and transplant allograft. |
