Overview

Case report highlights mucormycosis diagnosis in kidney transplant recipient, indicating critical need for urgent care.

Key Points

  • To illustrate the rare but severe occurrence of mucormycosis in renal transplant patients and its complications.
  • Presented clinical case of a 36-year-old male renal transplant recipient
  • Utilized CT imaging to identify graft pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis
  • Performed renal biopsy leading to diagnosis of renal cortical necrosis with mucormycosis
  • Administered antifungal treatment with liposomal amphotericin B and micafungin
  • Conducted renal angiography revealing internal iliac artery thrombosis
  • Patient exhibited symptoms like flank pain, oliguria, and hematuria
  • Prompt imaging and interventions led to diagnoses of graft-associated complications
  • Despite treatment efforts, including angioplasty, patient ultimately underwent graft nephrectomy and died
