  • Title: Evaluation of renal transplants with ultrasound.
    Author: Bartrum RJ, Smith EH, D'Orsi CJ, Tilney NL, Dantono J.
    Journal: Radiology; 1976 Feb; 118(2):405-10. PubMed ID: 766060.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound scanning is useful in evaluating renal transplants: it is atraumatic, independent of renal function, and well suited for analyzing such common complications as lymphocele, abscess, hydronephrosis, and hematoma. When there is uncertainty as to the nature of a paranephric mass, ultrasonically guided percutaneous aspiration is definitive. Ultrasound can also detect the acute increase in renal volume associated with rejection and may prove to be a valuable adjunct in the early diagnosis of this problem.
