BACKGROUNDThe study was undertaken with a view to determine various inferior vena cava (IVC) parameters such as diameter in inspiration, in expiration, the mean diameter, and the collapsibility index using transabdominal ultrasound (TAS), and thus define the normal range of values for Indian population and derive nomogram values. The study was also undertaken to highlight the variations in the IVC parameters in accordance with various determinants such as age, gender, height, weight, body surface area and body mass index in the study group.

An unusual case of kidney allograft dysfunction following mechanical obstruction of the allograft at distal ureter, secondary to scarred vas deferens, testicular vessels, and lower abdominal muscles due to the previous right inguinal hernia mesh repair. This led to anuric renal allograft failure on the 2nd postoperative day, which was successfully managed with a multidisciplinary team.
