[Vascular trombosis of renal graft: 9 cases].
BACKGROUND
Allograft renal thrombosis can occur in 1 to 6% of cases. Many predisposing factors has been identified especially alteration of coagulation.


OBJECTIVE
We analyzed in this study frequency and predisposing factors of renal graft thrombosis.


METHODS
We report a retrospective study including 319 renal transplant recipients.


RESULTS
Nine patients (2.8%) presented veinous graft thrombosis in 5 cases and arterial thombosis in 4 cases. There were 6 men and 3 women aged of 30.6 years meanly (10-56) which developed the thrombosis 6 days (1-48) after the transplantation. All patients were detransplanted after 16.2 days and 1 patient died.


CONCLUSIONS
Thrombosis constitute an important cause of graft loss. A perfect surgical technic and prophylactic treatment in high risk patients are necessary to reduce this complication.
