Does the Presence of Renal Vascular Variation in the Renal Allograft Determine the Outcome of Renal Transplantation? Experience from the National Kidney Transplantation Center, Ethiopia
Abstract:Background: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for people who suffer from end stage renal disease. Renal vascular anatomy is known for presenting a wide range of variations. Kidneys with variant renal vascular anatomy when used as a graft appear to be a potential risk factor that could impair the outcome of kidney transplantation. Information on renal vascular variations and its implication in the surgical outcome of renal transplantation has not been well studied. Hence, the present study was ai… Show more
