Because of this, the graft which previously considered contraindication for transplantation have been successfully transplanted due to development of technique, drug and improvement postoperative management of patients. Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is the second most common cause of renovascular hypertension, and is observed in 2.0% to 6.6% of potential live kidney donors. Kidney with FMD is generally considered to be a contraindication to renal transplantation because renal artery stenosis may progress after transplantation and cause graft loss.
