Two transplant renal arteries: One important lesson

High index of suspicion is required for ischemic nephropathy in renal transplant recipients presenting with unexplained acute kidney injury, as it is potentially reversible. Carbon dioxide (CO2) angiogram is a good alternative to evaluate vasculature in patients with renal dysfunction where iodinate...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) angiogram is a good alternative to evaluate vasculature in patients with renal dysfunction where iodinated contrast is relatively contraindicated.
