    Abstract:
    During a followup period of 18 months 75 renal transplant recipients were examined by thermography according to Tricoire. Thermography is a not invasive, quickly available and reproduceable method. Because of the high incidence of 85% exact diagnoses this investigation is a helpful additional test in kidney transplantation for evaluation of graft function as well as for diagnosis for evaluation of graft function as well as for diagnosis of pathological intrarenal or perirenal disorders. Thermography is especially recommendable for transplant patients, if postoperative haemodialysis is necessary. In these cases information can easily be obtained whether postoperative olig-anuria is caused by acute tubular necrosis or by primary insufficient vascularisation of the transplant.
