Outlet obstruction in the transplant patient.
Transplantation is now an acceptable mode of therapy for end stage renal disease. Increased survival rates and acceptance of older recipients have resulted in an increased frequency of outlet obstruction in the male recipient. Reviews of urological complications in renal allotraansplantation have failed to emphasize this clinical entity. We present 3 patients, each emphasizing a different facet in the natural history of outlet obstruction in the male recipient of a renal allotransplant. The rationale for aggressive investigation of outlet obstruction is emphasized.
