Kidney transplantation during a twin pregnancy. Case report and review of the literature.

Kidney transplant in a pregnant woman is exceptional, with only six cases being reported. Pregnancy was not known at the time of the transplant in five of these cases. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman who was diagnosed as carrying a twin pregnancy 4 months after starting hemodialysis.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease with a perinephritic abscess.

A 68-year-old female in hemodialysis due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease underwent resection of cysts in her right kidney via a laparoscopic approach due to abdominal pain. Three weeks after surgery, she was admitted with sepsis. A CT scan showed a large abscess around the right kidney.
