Case report: sonographic detection of renal transplant cortical calcification.
Cortical calcification in a transplanted kidney was detected by high resolution ultrasound, not visible on plain abdominal radiography. Early recognition of these sonographic appearances should lead to a more accurate diagnosis and institution of appropriate treatment in patients with post-operative transplant dysfunction.
