Objective:
To report on three patients with partial graft renal vein thrombosis diagnosed by ultrasound.
Methods:
The vascular complications diagnosed by ultrasound in 400 transplants performed from 1995-1998 were reviewed.
Results:
Three patients with partial graft renal vein thrombosis were found. Two patients were treated with anticoagulant therapy. No thrombosis could be detected in all three patients on subsequent US control evaluation.
Conclusions:
Unlike complete thrombosis, partial graft renal vein thrombosis presents late, without significant clinical features and can be managed conservatively.
