Sudden massive hemorrhage after renal transplantation.
Five cases of sudden massive hemorrhage after renal transplantation are reported. It is supposed that an infective arteritis with damage of the artery wall caused the observed disruption of the arteries. Prompt ligation far from the infected site is recommended as necessary to prevent recurrence of the bleeding and to afford the best possibility for survival.
