摘要:
Renal transplantation is the best treatment option for chronic renal failure, with marked improvement in social activity, work, and family life. In addition to these obvious improvements, it is an extremely cost-effective procedure when successful. Ultrasonography plays a major role in the imaging of these patients, and ultrasound (including color Doppler) is helpful to the transplant physician in detecting graft dysfunction and peritransplant collections, some of which may be drained under ultrasound guidance. It is also helpful in the diagnosis of chronic vascular complications including transplant artery stenosis and arteriovenous fistula. It has no specific application in the diagnosis of chronic rejection.
