Renal transplantation: clinical considerations.

D W Hanto, R L Simmons

    Radiologic Clinics of North America
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Kidney transplantation offers a life-saving treatment for end-stage renal disease. Advances in immunosuppression improve graft survival, though careful surgical technique and imaging are vital for managing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplant Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Renal transplantation is the primary treatment for end-stage renal disease in adults and children.
    • Over 7500 kidney transplants occur annually in the US, with varying graft survival rates based on donor type.
    • Recent advancements in immunosuppressive therapies have enhanced outcomes and reduced infectious complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the common complications following renal transplantation.
    • To highlight the essential role of radiologic studies in evaluating and managing post-transplant complications.
    • To emphasize the importance of surgical technique in uremic and immunosuppressed patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common post-renal transplant complications.
    • Discussion of radiologic modalities used for evaluation.
    • Emphasis on surgical considerations for uremic and immunosuppressed patients.

    Main Results:

    • Common complications include acute tubular necrosis, vascular thrombosis, lymphocele, and ureteral issues.
    • Effective management requires careful hemostasis, minimal tissue injury, and aseptic techniques.
    • Radiologic studies such as renograms, CT scans, and arteriograms are crucial for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal transplantation is a successful treatment for end-stage renal disease.
    • Improved immunosuppression has led to better graft survival rates.
    • Vigilant radiologic evaluation and management are critical for addressing post-transplant complications.
