AI Article Synopsis

  • Two cases of microvascular thrombosis leading to graft loss shortly after kidney transplantation are discussed.
  • The first case involves a 20-year-old woman who experienced immediate kidney dysfunction due to microthrombi likely originating from the donor, with no recovery of kidney function after nine months.
  • The second case features a 23-year-old man who faced hyperacute rejection after receiving a live kidney transplant, attributed to the presence of anti-endothelial antibodies.

Article Abstract

We present two unusual cases of microvascular thrombosis in the immediate posttransplant period resulting in graft loss. The first was a 20-year-old female with a cadaveric renal transplant with immediate graft dysfunction due to microthrombi of probable donor origin, with nonrecovery of renal function nine months' posttransplant. The second was a 23-year-old male with unrelated live kidney transplant with hyperacute rejection due to anti-endothelial antibodies.
