Description
Malissa Bentham and co-authors present a 2024 case report on a rare, treatable cause of high blood pressure after a kidney transplant biopsy. Bleeding inside the organ squeezed it and set off a hormone chain that drove pressure up.
The patient, a man in his seventies, had a biopsy of his transplanted kidney. A growing blood collection then compressed the organ. His blood pressure rose and kidney function fell. Surgery relieved the pressure and saved the transplant. The authors say this is the first such case in a transplanted kidney reported from the Caribbean region. They stress early recognition, since prompt action can rescue the organ.
