Papillary necrosis in kidney transplant patients.

Kaude JV, Stone M, Fuller TJ, Cade R, Tarrant DG, Juncos LI.

Of 158 renal transplant recipients, 75 underwent excretory urography at some point during a six-year period, 24 hours to 7 years after transplantation. In 11 patients, renal papillary necrosis (RPN) was found. RPN was associated in 9 patients with one or more disease entities known to be the etiologic factor to RPN in nontransplanted kidneys. In 2 patients, previous rejection episodes were the probable case for RPN. Renal papillary necrosis, a rather late complication with renal allograft, was demonstrated in this population on an average of 28.1 months after transplantation.
