Spontaneous Rupture of Renal Transplant

Abstract

Seven cases of spontaneous rupture of renal allografts were noted among 200 human renal transplantations. All of them were associated with allograft reaction. Five cases also had ureteral obstruction and one ureteral leakage. Allograft reaction and urinary obstruction seem to be the etiological factors of rupture of renal allograft.
