    Voiding cystography in renal allograft recipients helps assess vesicoureteral reflux and bladder changes. However, urinary leakage can lead to false-negative results in this patient population.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Renal transplantation is a common treatment for end-stage renal disease.
    • Assessing graft function and complications is crucial post-transplantation.
    • Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) can occur in native ureters or the transplanted kidney.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence of VUR into autologous ureters and the renal allograft.
    • To determine the frequency of morphological and functional bladder changes.
    • To assess bladder contractility during micturition in renal allograft recipients.

    Main Methods:

    • 45 voiding cystographies were performed in 40 patients with renal allografts.
    • Two contrast media were used: diluted Verografin SPOFA and Opacist E.R. BRACCO.

  • Evaluation included reflux into native ureters and the allograft, and bladder morphology/function.

    • Main Results:

    • The study assessed reflux and bladder changes in patients with renal allografts.
    • Urinary leakage at uretero-neocystotomy sites resulted in false-negative voiding cystography in three patients.
    • The frequency of VUR and bladder alterations was determined.

    Conclusions:

    • Voiding cystography is a valuable tool for evaluating VUR and bladder function in renal allograft recipients.
    • Careful interpretation is needed, especially in cases of urinary leakage.
    • The study provides data on the incidence of VUR and bladder changes in this specific patient group.
