title: Delayed recurrent thromboembolism of the allograft kidney.
abstract: Renal artery thromboembolism is a rare event in native kidneys and has never been reported to occur in allograft kidney. We report a case of allograft kidney infarction secondary to embolisation from thrombus in the hypogastric artery supplying the allograft on two separate occasions 1 and 2 years after transplant. Anticoagulation therapy alone was given and the patient responded well with partial recovery of renal function.
