Spontaneous renal allograft rupture complicated by urinary leakage: case report and review of the literature

Abstract: BackgroundFor more than forty years, graftectomy has been the standard treatment of spontaneous renal transplant rupture. However, recent evidences suggest that graft salvage strategies can be safely pursued, even in difficult cases.Case presentationWe report on a thirty-nine-year-old woman who received a deceased donor kidney transplant and experienced spontaneous allograft rupture due to acute rejection. The rupture was further complicated by urinary leakage. The kidney and the ureter were successfully repai… Show more

“…Spontaneous renal rupture usually occurs after upper urinary calculi-related operation treatment or renal tumor, [ 2 , 4 ] it has also been reported during pregnancy, [ 5 ] transplant kidney and nephritis. [ 6 , 7 ] According to the location of renal rupture, it can be divided into renal parenchyma rupture, collecting system rupture or mixed rupture, [ 1 ] patient may experience corresponding symptoms, such as pain, hematuresis and Wunderlich syndrome. [ 7 ] The patient did not have any obstruction and tumor, but this patient has a compensatorily enlarged left kidney due to the atrophy of the right kidney, this left kidney may be relatively fragile, more importantly, the patient has hemophilia, which is a bleeding-prone disease for the lack of clotting factor.…”

“…There have been several reports of successful applications of AngioJet in cases of renal infarction due to renal artery thrombosis or emboli; nonetheless, no case of kidney rupture after reperfusion has been described [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. It remains undetermined whether the rupture of the right kidney after the restoration of the patency of RI occurred as a result of concomitant renal vein thrombosis, similarly to several reports of renal allograft ruptures, or due to intraoperative injury at the time of the thrombectomy [ 26 , 27 ]. Notwithstanding this, the remaining left kidney was reperfused successfully, and no significant deterioration of the creatinine level or GFR was observed in the subsequent four years of follow-up.…”

“…Renal graft rupture is usually an early event set in the postoperative period [12], and its most important cause is acute organ rejection, followed by renal vein thrombosis, acute tubular necrosis, trauma, renal biopsy, ureteral obstruction, and cancer. The clinical presentation of kidney rupture is often dramatic, due to acute blood loss and severe graft dysfunction, which may, respectively, lead to hemodynamic instability and multiple organ failure [13,14].…”
