title: Nontraumatic rupture of renal allografts.
abstract: 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.
