Sir, I had my kidney transplant a month ago. Kidney funtion is doing good but after 1 week there was a oozing from one of stich. on investigation it seemed to be lymphosite  but there was a doubt of urine leakage for which nephrotosmy is advised by doctor. i would like to know that is it the only solution to confirm the leakage in my case and secondly is it safe for grafted kidney
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon, i understand your concern. Lymphoceles do form around the graft and need to be Chat Doctor. If there's urine leak, it can be treated by a nephrology and stenting. At the same time, the origin of leak can be confirmed, with a contrast study. This is a standard procedure and will save the graft. Once the origin of leak is localized, it can be corrected accordingly. Wish you well.
