Summary— Three patients who underwent live donor renal transplantation subsequently developed calculi in their allografts. Hypercalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism were present in 2 cases and these were treated by subtotal parathyroidectomy. Urinary stagnation and infection were contributory factors in the third case and reimplantation of the ureter was necessary. In all patients no further calculi have developed following treatment and allograft function remains satisfactory.
