Pediatric Kidney Transplantation in Africa: A Case Report

Exp Clin Transplant. 2022 May;20(Suppl 3):15-16. doi: 10.6002/ect.PediatricSymp2022.L4.ABSTRACTThis case report shows the vital importance of vigilant observation of patients after transplant. In centers where ultrasonographs are not available, exploration of the patient may be necessary to salvage a precious kidney. In the patient reported here, who received a kidney transplant at St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos (Nigeria, Africa), reexploration resulted in an increased area for the kidney, with both improved urine output and graft function.PMID:35570593 | DOI:10.6002/ect.PediatricSymp2022.L4
