Popis: Renal transplantation is considered the preferred treatment method for chronic renal failure. Early graft failure caused by transplant renal artery narrowing/stenosis is a common vascular complication after kidney transplantation. The classic symptoms include refractory hypertension, a decline in graft function, and fluid retention. Color Doppler sonography plays an important role in the diagnosis of renal artery narrowing; however, allograft artery angiography remains the gold standard. We report on a case of cadaveric donor renal transplantation, wherein the urine output markedly decreased within 7 h of transplantation due to renal arterial narrowing and the efforts that were made to salvage the kidney.
