Fibromuscular dysplasia recurrence after kidney transplantation: case report.
We report the extremely rare recurrence of intimal fibroplasia, a rare form of fibromuscular dysplasia, in a kidney recipient at 6 months after transplantation from a living-related donor. The patient was successfully treated and maintains good kidney function, however, the case raises the question of whether kidneys with fibromuscular dysplasia should be included in the expanded criteria for kidney transplantation.
