Ischemia reperfusion injury in kidney transplantation: A case report

Rationale: Kidney transplantation is considered the best treatment for patients with end stage renal disease. Ischemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) is an evitable event after deceased donor transplantation and influences short term and long term graft outcome. Few data on IRI's histology in the setting of kidney transplantation are available in the literature despite its frequency and its severity.
