Complications of Renal Transplantation

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this presentation is to show the ultrasonographic findings of complications of renal transplantation. METHODS: We reviewed the ultrasonographic findings of complications of renal transplantation, including urologic complications, fluid collections, graft dysfunction, vascular complications, neoplasms, and recurrent native renal disease. RESULTS: Specific ultrasonographic features of complications of renal transplantation have been illustrated. CONCLUSIONS: Familiarity with the clinical setting and the appearance of potential renal transplant complications as depicted with the most commonly used modality, ultrasonography, will facilitate prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment.
