We report on a successful cadaveric pre-emptive renal transplantation performed in a boy born with posterior urethral valve. Following bilateral ureterocutaneostomies, left nephrectomy and valve resection, at 6 years of age a continent ileocolonocystoplasty was performed. The boy started intermittent daytime catheterization, passing urine both via urethra and fistula. At the age of 18 he received a renal transplant. Continuing the previous regime, at 1.5 years follow up his graft is well functioning (GFR >75 ml/min/1.73 m2) with sporadic episodes of urinary tract infection.Read More
