Intraperitoneal Urine Leak in a Patient With a Renal Transplant on Tc-99m MAG3 Imaging

Abstract

Although urine leaks are common after renal transplantation, these are usually obvious as external leakage through the surgical wound or drain or as the development of an extraperitoneal urinoma. A communication, with urine leakage, from a transplanted urinary tract to the peritoneal cavity is very uncommon. This case demonstrates the value of radionuclide renal imaging in demonstrating such an abnormality.
