This was completely reversible after pericardectomy.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 43-year-old female caucasian patient received a living kidney donation from her mother. She had developed end-stage renal disease 2\u2009years prior due to nephrotic syndrome linked to graft-versus-host disease after allogenic stem-cell transplantation for aplastic anemia.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>The graft showed insufficient function already in the early postoperative phase. Dialysis was paused after surgery, but the patient developed hypervolemia with ascites and edema in the lower extremities. Doppler ultrasonography showed scarce perfusion, with intrarenal arterial waveforms without end-diastolic flow. The venous perfusion profiles showed pulsatile retrograde flow. There was no identifiable reason for a primary vascular perfusion problem on ultrasonography or transplant kidney angiography. Kidney transplant biopsy revealed no rejection but extensive acute tubular necrosis. Three weeks after transplantation, the patient developed an acute anuric graft failure caused by severe cardiac decompensation. Echocardiography revealed a previously unnoticed constrictive pericarditis, which could be confirmed in a cardio computed tomography scan. The constrictive pericarditis had not been apparent on previous x-rays, computed tomography scans, or echocardiographies, including those for transplantation evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>Conservative management of the constrictive pericarditis was not successful and the graft remained anuric. Eventually, the patient underwent pericardectomy 16\u2009weeks after kidney transplantation. Shortly after surgery, the graft started urine production again, which significantly increased within a few days. The clearance improved and 2\u2009weeks later, the patient was free from dialysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This case illustrates that special attention should be given to the pericardium during transplant evaluation, especially for patients who previously underwent stem-cell transplantations, chemotherapy or radiation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12882-020-01899-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]],"date-time":"2020-06-29T12:04:05Z","timestamp":1593432245000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Pericardectomy after pericarditis constrictiva led to onset of transplant kidney function after 98\u2009days of anuric kidney graft: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Caroline","family":"Wacker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Weyand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Schiffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mirian","family":"Opgenoorth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"1899_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"587","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-015-1571-4","volume":"8","author":"RM Weerakkody","year":"2015","unstructured":"Weerakkody RM, Lokuliyana PN, Sheriff MH.
