Encrusted pyelitis in a kidney allograft

A 56-year-old woman with a history of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease underwent kidney transplantation in 2017. No surgical complication occurred, and a double J catheter placed perioperatively was removed at month 1 after the transplant. Her post-transplant serum creatinine level was 110 μmol/l. At month 4 after the transplant, she presented with worsening renal function. The patient was afebrile, and results of the physical examination were normal. Findings of other routine blood tests and urinalysis were normal.
