Abstract

Aims: Kidney transplant patients are particularly at risk of developing dreadful complications due to any infection, given the daily intake of immunosuppressive drugs, Covid- 19 is no exception. However the obstructive cause has never been described to the best of our knowledge Results: We report the case of a 30 years-old patient, with renal transplant since 2018, who developped a severe pulmonary Covid-19 infection complicated by an acute anuric obstructive kidney failure confirmed by echography showing moderate pyelo-calicielle dilation. Conclusion: Because kidney transplant have only one functioning kidney, and are under immunosuppressive therapy, the incidence and severity of acute kidney injury are higher in these settings with a major risk of losing the precious graft.
