“…However, only a few reports are there on the study of the actual decrease rate [2–4]. On the other hand, scheduled ultrasonographic (US) examination of kidney after induction of HD is important to check the progression of acquired cystic disease of kidney (ACDK) and renal cancer which may arise in ACDK [5, 6].…”

We here present the results of ultrasonographic (US) evaluations on the alteration of renal diameter of chronic HD patients. Of 109 outpatient HD patients who had neither severe acquired cystic disease of the kidney nor hereditary polycystic kidney disease, we performed US two or three times to measure their maximum renal diameter (mean of both kidneys), and the yearly alteration rate was calculated. The average interval of the two measurements was 35.9 months, and the average HD duration from the HD induction to the first measurement was 29.5 months. The average decrease rate of renal diameter was 4.34 ± 0.4 (SE) mm/year. No statistical difference was seen on the decrease rate in relation to gender, age and original disease (among three groups, glomerulonephritis and IgA nephropathy, diabetes, and others including hypertension). However, the decrease rate was large when the first measurement was close to the induction of hemodialysis, suggesting that the alteration rate reduced according to the hemodialysis vintage (5.3 ± 0.8 mm/year, first measurement not more than 10 months after induction of HD and 1.5 ± 1.6 mm/year, first measurement more than 80 months after induction of HD). Renal diameter decreased approximately 4.3 mm each year, and the decrease rate slowed as the length of time on dialysis increased.

RESULTADOS. Os pacientes estavam adequadamente dialisados (uréia e creatinina séricas = 98,7 ± 35mg/dL e 9,7 ± 2,7mg/dL, respectivamente), com bom estado nutricional (albumina sérica = 4,5 ± 0,5g/ dL), e tinham razoável reserva de ferro (ferro sérico = 80 ± 34mg/dL). A prevalência de DRCA foi de 80%. Não detectamos nenhum sinal ultra-sonográfico de malignidade nesses cistos. Houve correlação significante entre tempo de diálise e hematócrito (R = 0,70; p < 0,05). O tamanho dos cistos teve correlação direta e significante com os valores do hematócrito (R = 0,74; p < 0,05).CONCLUSÕES. Os resultados mostram que a melhora espontânea da anemia observada nos pacientes em diálise crônica se correlaciona de forma significante com a gravidade da doença renal cística adquirida. Isso sugere uma atividade funcional dos cistos renais na produção de eritropoetina.UNITERMOS. Insuficiência renal crônica. Doença renal cística adquirida. Anemia. Eritropoetina. Hemodiálise.

“…Renal transplantation is the most effective treatment option in patients with end-stage renal disease. Studies have shown that the 5-year survival after renal transplantation is 70%, as compared to 30% survival in patients receiving dialysis ( 1 ). The use of appropriate diagnostic method in preoperative analysis but also in postoperative follow up protocol is necessary for accurate preparation and early diagnosis of complications and workflow efficiency ( 2 ).…”

SUMMARY – Radiological diagnostic methods have a significant role in the preoperative and postoperative care of patients after kidney transplantation. Improvement and innovations in technology, but also the growing experience of the radiologists who deal with kidney transplant patients as part of the transplant team lead to earlier detection of complications in the postoperative period, which are the leading cause of transplant failure. In this article, we describe, through diagnostic imaging examples, detailed evaluation of all possible complications that can occur after kidney transplantation, with evaluation of different possible diagnostic methods that can be used in the preoperative assessment and postoperative follow up and care of the transplanted patient. The goal of this article is to demonstrate and summarize in detail the possible complications of renal transplantation and how to best diagnostically approach them, with special reference to ultrasound which is the main imaging method for this group of conditions.
