Abstract

Urinary calculi are a rare clinical problem in kidney transplantation; the reported incidence is about 0.2% to 1.7%. The incidence is decreasing due to the use of absorbable suture stitches and the early treatment of hyperparathyroidism. Symptoms of renal transplant lithiasis are absent typical abdominal pain due to the denervated renal transplant. We experienced a case of obstructive uropathy due to urinary calculus in transplanted kidney. The stone was 9.8 mm sized and removed by ESWL. No further calculi have developed during observational period and renal function improved.
