Abstract: | Complications due to ureteric obstruction are an occasional cause for renal transplant dysfunction. Here we report an unusual
case of orthostatic renal failure in a renal transplant recipient. Our patient had the previously reported predisposing risk
factors including: female sex, obesity, and lax abdominal musculature. It is important to recognize this unusual complication
of renal transplantation early in order to preserve long-term graft function.
