Kidney scintigraphy showed a central photopenic region (Figure 1), and subsequent angiography confirmed minimal flow in the transplant renal artery with a nonperfused kidney allograft and no thrombus amenable to intervention.

A repeat kidney scintigraphy was performed after he reported increasing urine output and this revealed improvement in kidney perfusion with no evidence of vascular insult (Figure 3).
Kidney scintigraphy performed on day 158 post-transplant showing displacement of the transplant kidney to the midline, still with some perfusion present.

AKI (creatinine 532 mumol/L from 249 mumol/L two days prior). A third nuclear scan was performed, this time demonstrating reduced perfusion of the kidney allograft with displacement from the left iliac fossa to the central abdomen (Figure 4).
