Acute rejection can’t be diagnosed using: Acute rejection can t be diagnosed using:
- resistive index (intra‐renal)
l l i
- pre‐glomerular resistance
- post‐glomerular resistance
- vascular compliance
- the shape of the velocity waveform (mid renal
the shape of the velocity waveform (mid renal artery)
Conclusions Conclusions
- Doppler ultrasound of kidney transplants has
Doppler ultrasound of kidney transplants has limited value in diagnosing acute rejection.
- Resistive index > 0 9 is seen in acute rejection
- Resistive index > 0.9 is seen in acute rejection,
delayed graft function, and renal vein thrombosis thrombosis.
- The 3‐element Windkessel model can be used
d i l i d to determine vascular resistance and compliance.
