The ureter is an unusual location for lesions of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). A patient in whom recurrence of WG after kidney transplantation was manifested by obstructive uropathy due to granulomatous vasculitis (WG) at the ureterovesicle anastomosis, as well as nasal and lung involvement, is reported. The occurrence of WG in the ureter in relation to the processes causing ureteral obstruction and the recurrences of WG after kidney transplantation and its treatment are briefly reviewed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007166	Immunosuppressive Agents	Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
