Abstract
A double-pediatric kidney transplant recipient, who developed hypertension, was found to have unilateral renal artery stenosis. The stenosis was successfully assessed by single-dose 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid renal scintigraphy, confirmed by renal arteriography, and treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. This case illustrates the usefulness of Captopril-enhanced renography in screening en-bloc transplant patients suspected for renal vascular hypertension.
