[The evaluation of the kidney transplant patient by nuclear medicine technics].
In Mexico, approximately between 200 to 250 patients received a renal transplantation each year. Immediately after the surgical procedure it is important to evaluate the function of the transplanted kidney. Because some complications may arise mainly with unspecific symptoms which often produce oliguria, high levels of serum creatinine, fever and pain at the site of the graft. In this paper we report the nuclear medicine methodology, which we use in the diagnostic evaluation of this patients. These methods are highly specific and provide useful quantitative and qualitative information about these morphology and the function of the transplanted kidney.
