Abstract
Ascites is an ominous finding after kidney transplantation. It occurs either as a result of technical complication of the transplant procedure or from medical reasons that include portal hypertension, graft rejection and other causes (1, 2). Here in are described a case of ascites that occurred after successful kidney transplantation. Kidney re-transplantation alone or combined heart and kidney transplantation were possible options for him. Finally, a review of published cases of ascites that occurred after kidney transplantation and treatment of putative nephrogenic ascites (NA) is presented.
