Complications of renal transplantation: ultrasonographic evaluation.
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.
