RESUMO
Acute thrombosis of the renal transplant artery is a well-known vascular complication of renal allograft that usually occurs within the first month post-transplant and often leads graft loss. The incidence of this complication varies between 0.8 and 3.5%. Beyond this period of time, this complication is distinctly uncommon except in rejected kidneys or in a kidney with high grade arterial stenosis. Here we are reporting a case of late renal transplant segmental infarction in 55 years old male patient who presented with sudden allograft pain, fever, and graft dysfunction 15 months after renal transplantation. Graft function improved slightly and became stable with the anticoagulation therapy.
