Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a renal allograft: a case report.
We report a case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a renal allograft. The kidney was not removed and there was an initial response to antibiotic therapy, with amelioration of toxicity and improvement in renal function. However, the kidney failed 10 months later in association with histological changes of chronic rejection.
