Abstract
Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) of the liver is an extremely rare complication of azathioprine (AZT) use in patients with kidney transplants (KTs). Although VOD is frequently seen in bone marrow transplant patients, so far only 24 cases have been reported in KT patients. Our case adds to the available data on the disease, and we also reviewed the published data on this entity to establish the characteristics of VOD in the setting of KT. Our case highlights the importance of this potentially life-threatening complication and provides an overview of VOD in KT patients.
