| Popis: | During post-transplant evolution, adolescents may present problems with adherence to treatment, becoming a high-risk group for graft loss. Here, we report a case which describes an adolescent patient who lost a graft due to humoral rejection associated with lack of adherence to treatment. During chronic peritoneal dialysis therapy, the patient developed pain and increased volume in the graft area, fever, gross hematuria and leukocyturia upon urine examination. The patient was diagnosed with graft immune intolerance syndrome and transplantectomy was suggested. Finally, a graft embolization was performed. A decrease in symptoms was observed until the patient became asymptomatic. |
