Renal transplant imaging
View through CrossRef
The purpose of imaging of the transplant kidney is to assess integrity, anatomy, and function. Relatively or actually non-invasive technologies can be used to monitor for potential early post-transplant complications such as acute tubular necrosis, acute rejection, haematoma, pyelonephritis, abscess, urinoma, ureteral obstruction, vascular complications, and rarely graft torsion. The technologies also assist in the diagnosis and management of late complications such as those arising from immunosuppression, chronic rejection, lymphocoele, cyst, renal artery stenosis, urinary obstruction, and tumours. This chapter demonstrates the capacity of the various imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, to assist in the clinical management of the renal transplant recipient.
