The central approach of renal transplant ultrasound is to evaluate for possibly treatable surgical or medical complications arising in the transplanted kidney.. Institutions vary in the exact schedule of renal transplant ultrasound assessment, but it is common to obtain an initial ultrasound 24-48 hours post-transplant, often performed with a radionuclide imaging (e.g. Normal transplant renal artery velocities; Transplant renal artery peak systolic velocity; Transplant renal artery stenosis. This is best done based on the time scale as different fluid collections tend to present at different times in the postoperative period: There are a number of medical causes of renal transplant dysfunction or failure: Ultrasound findings in medical graft complications are non-specific and can include: Ultimately, patients with suspected medical causes of transplant dysfunction undergo biopsy for definitive diagnosis.

However, lesions causing <50% angiographic diameter stenosis are generally not considered to be hemodynamically important, 78 and it is therefore recommended that a ≥50% diameter stenosis be considered the minimum threshold for patient inclusion in a renal revascularization RCT.

Many of these are common and/or chronic conditions which present for initial assessment by primary health care workers. The normal peak velocity of the transplant renal artery is in the range of 170-210 cm/sec, whereas the renal venous flow is flat with low-velocity waveforms (1,2).Along with renal artery measurements, the proximal and distal iliac vessels also need to be evaluated to compare the flow to the renal artery . Although transplant rejection remains the most common complication after renal transplantation, vascular anatomical complications occur in 1%-23% of renal transplant recipients.
