“…When hematomas grow and produce clinical signs or symptoms by pressure, it may lead to graft dysfunction and thrombotic complications. Ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) are used for diagnosis [17]. Hematoma may be complicated with infection that can be treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage.…”

“…Reversed or absent diastolic flow is a sign of extremely high vascular resistance in small intrarenal or large extrarenal vessels. 7,37,39,[42][43][44][45] This high vascular resistance indicates graft dysfunction and correlates with increased risk of graft loss. 39 The reversed diastolic waveform was described (in the main or segmental renal arteries), when retrograde blood flow occurred at any time point during the diastole, regardless of whether antegrade flow has happened.…”

Transplant renal vein thrombosis usually occurs early after surgery with a reported prevalence of 0.1% to 4.2%. It is a devastating event that ultimately leads to graft loss in almost all cases. There are many predisposing factors related to donor, recipient, surgery, and immunosuppression, with mechanical factors being considered the most common causes of transplant renal vein thrombosis. The clinical manifestations of acute renal vein thrombosis are nonspecific and are not dissimilar to the features of urine leak, urinary obstruction, or severe acute rejection. The diagnosis of transplant renal vein thrombosis depends on a high index of clinical suspicion and duplex ultrasonographic scans. Although venography remains the criterion standard, this procedure is invasive and nephrotoxic, due to use of ionizing contrast agents and also due to exposure to ionizing radiation. There are 2 therapies that have been described in the literature for salvaging a renal allograft with transplant renal vein thrombosis: thrombolytic therapy and surgical thrombectomy. The usual end result is renal allograft nephrectomy because the diagnosis is almost always too late.

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for renal and hypertonic diseases

Die Computertomographie (CT) hat sich seit Einführung der Einschicht-CT vor mehr als 30 Jahren zunehmend weiterentwickelt: Eckpunkte sind die Entwicklung der Spiral-CT und die Einführung der Multidetektortechnik. Die Spiral-CT ermögli-cht eine kontinuierliche Datenakquisition, während der Patient durch den Tomographen bewegt wird. Die Multidetektor-CT (MDCT) führt zu einer deutlichen Erhöhung der Akquisitionsgeschwindigkeit und der longitudinalen Auflösung [8]. Durch die technische Weiterentwicklung haben sich die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der CT erweitert, was auch Einfluss auf die Bildgebung bei Nieren-und Hochdruckerkrankungen hat.
