Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of imaging diagnosis on complications after kidney transplantation. Methods The radiologic appearances of 165 patients with postoperative complications were reviewed in a double blind method by two experienced radiologists. Results In the 158 patients with postoperative pulmonary infections, the main etiological causes according to their frequency were bacteria,fungus,virus,and so on. The postoperative pulmonary infections of the patients with renal transplantation were diagnosed as normal(28,17 7%),increased lung markings(44,27 8%) and pulmonary infection(84,53 2%) by chest X-rays and CT. The renal artery stenosis after kidney transplantation was diagnosed in 5 cases, and thrombosis of pancreas blood vessel after operation of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation was diagnosed in 1 case by DSA. Conclusions Radiography and CT scan are very useful in the clinical diagnosis of postoperative pulmonary infections in the patients with renal transplantation,and radiography should be the first choice for the imaging diagnosis. DSA is one of the ideal and reliable measns to diagnose the postoperative vascular complications in kidney transplant recipients.
