Abstract:
We present the case of a 21-year-old transplanted female patient who presented with anuria due to a renal artery stenosis secondary to a failed percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The interest is that, to our knowledge, it is the longest case (220 days) reported in the literature of anuria in these conditions solved by surgery with an immediate urine output recovery. We report the underlying pathophysiology.
