ABSTRACT

The most common renal structural congenital anomaly is horseshoe kidney, which can be transplanted in bloc or separately. The increasing number of patients with grade 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) waiting for a kidney transplant while the number of available organs continues to be insufficient makes the use of these organs with anatomical abnormalities be considered, and generally according to previous reports they are a good option that offers good results.
