Acute Page kidney (APK) in kidney transplantation is a rare entity often related to interventional techniques. Percutaneous angioplasty remains an exceptional cause of APK. Herein we describe the clinical course and outcome of APK following percutaneous angioplasty for transplant renal artery stenosis in four kidney transplant recipients, where external compression of the graft was caused by subcapsular haematomas. All patients were treated with surgical drainage, after which two cases recovered baseline kidney function, one developed advanced chronic kidney disease and one remained dialysis-dependent. To our knowledge, the present series is the largest to describe APK in kidney allografts after percutaneous angioplasty.
