Wcn24-2179 Expected Renal Function in Post-Kidney Transplantation Not Achieved Due to Renal Artery Stenosis. A Case Report

Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a well-recognized vascular complication after kidney transplant. It occurs most frequently in the first 6 months after kidney transplant, and is one of the major causes of graft loss and premature death in transplant recipients. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of TRAS can prevent allograft damage and systemic secuelae. The renal hipoperfusion actives the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and it leads to sodium and fluid retention, and patients may develop edema, hypertension and ocasionally congestive heart failure.
