Abstract:
Objective To explore the treatment of complications associated with non-functioning renal allografts using embolism of renal artery.Methods Six patients with non-functioning renal allografts were treated with renal artery embolism,morphous,blood flow of allografts and symptoms were observed.Results Hematuria disappeared in 3 days after embolism;blood pressure levels controlled by drugs were in a normal region.Using color Doppler sonography,we found no blood flow in 4 cases,discontinuous blood flow in 2 cases.Blood flow disappeared in all 6 allografts 3 months later,and the allografts had atrophied.Conclusion Embolism of renal artery may be an effective and safe method for the treatment of complications associated with non-functioning renal allografts,especially for some severe patients;it could avoid the risks of operation.
