Successful Kidney Transplantation Using a Deceased Donor Graft With Fibromuscular Dysplasia

摘要

All over the world there is serious concern about the shortage of organs available for transplantation. In an effort to address this, transplantation with grafts, which was previously considered a contraindication, are now performed. In some cases, this practice has contributed to increasing the organ pool. Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is the second-most-common cause of renovascular hypertension and is observed in 2%-6.6% of potential live kidney donors. Kidney with FMD is generally considered to be a contraindication for renal transplantation because renal artery stenosis may progress after transplantation and cause graft loss. Here, we report on a successful case of kidney transplantation using a graft with FMD of a deceased donor who had multiple aneurysms in the renal artery.
