Core Tip
Core tip: We experienced a rare case of allograft loss from acute Page kidney secondary to trauma that occurred 12 years after kidney transplantation. This case reinforces that care for a transplanted kidney differs from care of a native kidney. Early recognition and aggressive treatments are mandatory, especially when Doppler signs suggest there is compression of the transplanted kidney. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the third case of allograft loss from Page kidney following kidney transplantation.
