[Computer angiography in renal transplants (author's transl)].
The results of computed angiography in 12 patients with renal transplants are described. In five patients with normal function of the transplant and normal appearances on a conventional angiogram, under-perfusion averaging 36% was demonstrated. In two out of three patients with a stenosis at the anastomosis, the effect of the stenosis on function could be shown. In two patients with acute rejection of the graft and hypoxia of the tubules, the differential diagnosis could be clarified by means of computer angiography. Computer angiography can therefore be regarded as a valuable addition to conventional angiography for the differentiation between tubular hypoxia and acute rejection and for underperfusion of a renal transplant.
