BACKGROUND: Kidney allograft dysfunction is common and often reversible but can lead to allograft loss if not promptly evaluated. Transplant ureteral obstruction in an inguinal hernia is a rare cause of allograft dysfunction, but early recognition may prevent allograft loss.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a man with acute kidney allograft dysfunction who received a deceased donor kidney transplant 6 years earlier for end-stage kidney disease secondary to polycystic kidney disease. Abdominal ultrasounds revealed hydronephrosis without full visualization of the transplant ureter. Abdominal computed tomography revealed moderate hydronephrosis of the transplant kidney due to obstructed herniation of the transplant ureter in a right inguinal hernia. A stent was inserted into the transplant ureter to prevent further allograft dysfunction and facilitate hernia repair.
CONCLUSIONS: Transplant ureteral obstruction is a rare cause of acute kidney allograft dysfunction, and its detection can be challenging. The recognition of transplant ureteral obstruction is vital to timely management for preventing allograft loss.
