Perirenal Hematoma and Graft Malposition Requiring Surgical Repositioning After Transplant Tourism: A Case Report

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

A patient traveled abroad to buy a kidney transplant. After coming home, doctors found bleeding around the new kidney and the organ sitting in the wrong position, so they operated again to move it. This is one patient's story, not a study. It shows what can go wrong with transplant tourism, not how often it happens.
