Abstract
Autosomal-recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) can cause renal failu re and portal hypertension in children. Portal hypertension may complicate the course of renal transplantation (Tx). We report the successful outcome of a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and portal hypertension tr eated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), a minimall y invasive endovascular technique of portosystemic shunt, prior to renal Tx .
