ABSTRACT: Renal allograft thrombosis involving either the renal
artery or the veins is a well known entity in clinical practice. This
complication of the renal transplant surgery is more common in the early part
of the post transplant period and it is usually associated
with acute antibody mediated rejection. This more commonly occurs in the
paediatric renal transplant and also seems to have some relation to the
duration of peritoneal dialysis pretransplant. However, the occurrence of
graft thrombosis in isolation without clinical or histological graft rejection is not
rare. We encountered a patient in whom the renal allograft thrombosis occurred after
6 weeks of commercial renal transplantation without any histological
evidence of rejection.
