Abstract:
Nuclear medicine provides a great clinical impact in the assessment and follow-up of kidney transplantation. In addition to the direct evaluation of transplant perfusion and function, indirect scintigraphic features may enhance the detection of potential transplant complications. The authors present a renal scintigraphy showing a large parenchymal perfusion compromise based on transplant caliceal reflux.
