A 68-year-old male patient received a living donor kidney transplantation 8 years earlier for end-stage kidney disease secondary to IgA nephropathy. His post-transplantation follow-up had been routinely performed with laboratory examinations, ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT). His kidney graft function had been excellent and stable, as shown by a baseline serum creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL. At referral, regular follow-up ultrasound and CT showed allograft hydroureteronephrosis. He did not have any complaints, but his physical examination revealed right inguinal bulging that was 3.5 × 3.5 cm. Abdominal enhanced CT revealed transplant allograft hydroureteronephrosis due to ipsilateral herniation of ureteroneocystostomy into the right inguinal canal. His serum creatinine level was slightly elevated (1.1 mg/dL). Then, he underwent an open right inguinal hernia repair. Paraperitoneal allograft hydroureteronephrosis and bladder herniation was confirmed at surgery, and hernioplasty with polypropylene mesh reinforcement was successfully performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. He was discharged on the seventh day after surgery. Six weeks after surgery, CT revealed disappearance of allograft hydroureteronephrosis and no sign of inguinal hernia recurrence with the serum creatinine stable at 1.0 mg/dL. Transplant ureteral obstruction due to inguinal hernia is a rare complication after kidney transplantation. However, transplant ureter or bladder herniation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of graft hydroureteronephrosis for preventing allograft loss.
