“…ever, it was discovered that although the sensitivity of the method for allograft dysfunction was high, similar changes of the indices could be found in other conditions as well, such as acute tubular necrosis, cyclosporin nephrotoxicity, venous thrombosis, pyelonephritis, and extrinsic compression [4,5]. Attempts have also been made to use this technique in the evaluation of patients with renal disorders affecting native kidneys.…”

Pulsatility and resistance indices in intrarenal arteries of normal adults

In order to establish the normal range of values of Pulsatility (PI) and Resistance (RI) Indices in the intrarenal vasculature, a study of 50 healthy volunteers (23 males, 27 females), divided into five groups of 10 according to age, was performed with Duplex Doppler ultrasound. Both kidneys were examined in all individuals and, in 12, indices were also compared between upper and lower poles of both kidneys. In addition, repeat examinations were performed in nine subjects on three different days, in order to assess the reproducibility of the method. No differences were found in the mean values of both indices between males and females, upper and lower poles, right and left kidneys. A statistically significant increase (p < 0.01, unpaired t-test) was demonstrated when the oldest age group (7th decade) was compared to the youngest age group (3rd decade). The method appeared remarkably reproducible for RI (4.2-7%), with wider variation in the PI (9.5-22.7%).

“…Renal vein thrombosis most often occurs during the course of an immunological renal disease such as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [1][2][3], lupus ery thematosus disseminatus visceralis [4], nephrotic syn drome [3,5,6 ], or immunological processes following kidney allografting [2,7], Other possible causes are blood hypercoagulability induced by burns or by severe dehy dration [8,9]. Clinical symptoms include acute flank pain, hematuria and proteinuria [9], but some of the cases are clinically silent and are only recognized when impair ment of the renal function develops [1,10].…”

“…If normal appearance of the renal collecting system and the ureter is present, further examinations of the renal ves sels, e.g. Doppler ultrasonography [7], are required. If there are signs of decreased blood flow in the renal artery or renal vein, angiography and phlebography of the infe rior vena cava should be done at once.…”

We report 2 cases of spontaneous thrombotic occlusion of the main renal vessels presenting with acute lumbar flank pain and hematuria suspect of nephrolithiasis. Clinical and laboratory signs of blood hypercoagulability, generalized arterial embolism, nephrotic syndrome or glomerulonephritis were absent. Excretory urography, nephrosonography and retrograde ureteropyelography showed no evidence of upper urinary tract calculi or other causes of obstruction. Renal angiography and cavography demonstrated an acute renal vein thrombosis in 1 patient and a thrombotic occlusion of all but one of the segmental renal arteries in the other patient. These 2 cases demonstrate that thrombotic occlusion of the renal artery or renal vein has to be considered in patients who are presenting with lumbar flank pain and hematuria, in whom the excretory urogram shows severe malfunction of one of the kidneys, and stone disease can be excluded. Renal angiography and cavography as well as CT scan should be carried out in these patients. When the disease is diagnosed at an early stage, an intra-arterial thrombolysis can be attempted.

Objective. The purpose of this presentation is to show the ultrasonographic findings of complications of renal transplantation. Methods. We reviewed the ultrasonographic findings of complications of renal transplantation, including urologic complications, fluid collections, graft dysfunction, vascular complications, neoplasms, and recurrent native renal disease. Results. Specific ultrasonographic features of complications of renal transplantation have been illustrated. Conclusions. Familiarity with the clinical setting and the appearance of potential renal transplant complications as depicted with the most commonly used modality, ultrasonography, will facilitate prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment.
