Risk factors for early renal graft thrombosis: a case-controlled study in grafts from the same donor.
Renal graft thrombosis is an important cause of early graft loss. In a case-controlled analysis including only thrombosed kidneys and their counterparts from the same donors, we found that the right kidney as opposed to the left kidney was the only risk factor for early graft vascular thrombosis. No other recipient, donor, or perioperative factor was significantly associated with the complication. Our findings suggested that implantation of a right kidney might be followed by prophylactic anticoagulant or antiaggregant therapy.
