Nontraumatic rupture of renal allografts.
Eight cases of nontraumatic renal allograft rupture were identified in 237 renal transplants performed at UCLA Medical Center. Careful clinicopathologic studies in these patients suggest three principal underlying causes: major graft vessel occlusion, hyperacute or accelerated rejection, and acute rejection. The clinical and pathologic features of these various categories are compared and contrasted.
