TABLE 1.

Timeline of post‐transplant treatment events.

Timeline Events
Operative day Kidney transplantation; living relative as the donor
+9 days US: 16 × 9 × 9 cm peri‐transplant fluid collection, lymphocele
+21 days Renal biopsy: No evidence of rejection. Absence of DSA
+24 days Laparoscopic peritoneal window
+32 days US: Small amount ascites. Normal transplant kidney
+42 days

Renal biopsy: Moderate epithelial foot process effacement. No evidence of rejection. Absence of DSA

Treated with steroids

+60 days NM MAG3 scan: Negative for obstruction
+72 days

Renal biopsy: Intact epithelial foot process. No evidence of rejection

VCUG: Normal

Tacrolimus pharmacokinetic study: Normal

+163 days

Renal biopsy: ACR, Banff 1A. Negative C4d. Absence of DSA.

Treated with ATG (1 mg/kg) and steroids

+194 days

Renal biopsy: Borderline for ACR. Tubular injury was characterized by isometric vacuoles and Tamm‐Horsfall (uromodulin) protein extravasation. Absence of DSA. dd‐cfDNA < 0.18%

NM MAG3 scan: Prolonged cortical uptake in transplant kidney

Cystogram and retrograde pyelogram: No evidence of obstruction

Tacrolimus was switched to envarsus and everolimus, due to concern of CNI toxicity

+235 days Renal biopsy: Acute tubular injury, which might be secondary to hypoperfusion or nephrotoxic etiologies
+285 days COVID test: Positive.
+311 days Absence of DSA. dd‐cfDNA < 0.08%
+339 days

Renal biopsy: borderline ACR

Treated with steroids

+396 days Conversion to Belatacept
+408 days

Urodynamic study: Normal

VCUG: Normal

+410 days Right ankle swelling. Lower extremity duplex US was negative for superficial or deep vein thrombosis
+444 days

Renal biopsy: ACR, Banff 1A

Treated with steroids

+469 days Influenza A infection
+479 days

Left leg swelling. Left popliteal, posterior tibial, peroneal and soleal vein thrombosis on Lower extremity duplex US

Hypercoagulation panel: negative

Treated with apixaban for 3 months

+542 days

Right inguinal hydrocele was diagnosed at outside hospital

US: normal transplant kidney with patent vasculature

+573 days

Worsened proteinuria with development lower extremity edema despite normal albumin (4 g/dL)

Treated with rituximab and IVIG infusion. Belatacept stopped. Converted to cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil

+651 days

Significant back pain with right groin and right leg swelling

Outside doppler US: questionable lower extremity thrombosis and unremarkable allograft study

CT venogram: extensive clot burden in the inferior iliac vein, bilateral iliac veins and transplant renal vein

Thrombolysis with serial mechanical thrombectomy

+711 days

MRA: patent inferior vena cava, bilateral common iliac veins, bilateral external

iliac veins, bilateral internal iliac veins and right transplant renal vein
