Gas densities with mild hydronephrosis are noted within the pelvicalyceal system of the transplanted kidney at the right iliac fossa. There is no fistulous connection identified on non-contrast basis.
Case Discussion
The presence of gas density inside the renal collecting system raises the possibility of emphysematous pyelitis. There are many post-renal transplant complications, among of these are infections with increased possibility due to immunosuppressive drugs intake.
