    Computed tomography (CT) effectively detects post-kidney transplant complications like abscesses and hematomas. This imaging method aids in monitoring treatment effectiveness for transplant recipients.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Imaging

    Background:

    • Post-kidney transplant complications require accurate and timely diagnosis.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers advanced imaging capabilities for abdominal assessments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing early complications following kidney transplantation.
    • To assess CT's utility in monitoring therapeutic responses in transplant patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Nineteen kidney transplant recipients were studied.
    • Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed immediately post-transplant and during follow-up for declining renal function.
    • Diagnostic accuracy was confirmed through surgical or clinical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • CT successfully demonstrated abscess formation, hematoma, and lymphocele.
    • Of 8 diagnosed abnormal densities, 5 were confirmed (2 abscesses, 1 serous collection/old blood, 1 lymphocele, 1 fresh hematoma).
    • Two unconfirmed abnormalities resolved with medical therapy; one diagnosis of fluid collection was incorrect (edematous rejected kidney).

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent imaging modality for identifying early post-kidney transplant complications.
    • CT is valuable for monitoring the effectiveness of both surgical and conservative treatment strategies in kidney transplant recipients.
