title: Post-rejection ureteral obstruction owing to ureteral adherence to graft inferior pole.
abstract: We describe 2 renal transplant patients with increasing plasma creatinine levels after resolution of acute rejection episodes. Antegrade pyelography demonstrated adherence of the ureter to the inferior pole of the kidney with partial obstruction in both cases, which was confirmed at operation.
