Abstract
A case of a cadaveric kidney transplant recipient who developed progre ssively severe renal failure within 3 mo of transplantation secondary to renal artery stenosis is presented. The patient was primarily hypot ensive and Doppler ultrasound showed normal flow. The problems in diag nosing this unusual case are reviewed. The findings on serial radionuc lide studies eventually led to consideration of the correct diagnosis.
