Decoster T, Vermassen FEG, Peeters PC, Hoste EAJ, De Waele JJ. Abdominal decompression for intra-abdominal hypertension after simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplantation. Clin Transplant 2010: 24: 118–121. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is increasingly recognized in critically ill patients and can result in respiratory, hemodynamic or renal dysfunction. We report the case of a patient suffering from diabetic nephropathy who underwent simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplantation. Within 12 h after the operation, the patient developed IAH resulting in oliguria and a rise in serum creatinine. Surgical abdominal decompression was performed, resulting in immediate restoration of kidney graft function.
