KW - Kidney transplantation, endometriosis, immunosuppression
AB - Hormonal abnormalities that are associated with advanced kidney failure normally reverses after kidney
transplantation. This usually helps to normalize menstrual cycles for female patients and helps improve
fertility. Post-transplant gynaecological disorders are under-reported in general. We present a patient who
developed endometriosis after second kidney transplant. She was treated with surgery followed by hormonal
therapy. We discuss the pathophysiology of endometriosis and possible relation to the immune system.
