Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

A 33-year-old renal transplant recipient presented with painless swelling of the right knee. Physical examination revealed an impressive knee joint effusion with no signs of inflammation. The patient did not remember a recent trauma, but he mentioned a strain 3 years earlier; radiographic findings had been normal at that time. The patient had suffered from end-stage renal disease due to chronic glomerulonephritis and had previously undergone two transplantations. At presentation, his kidney function was stable under treatment with ciclosporin, azathioprine and steroids.
