ARTERIOGRAPHY FOLLOWING RENAL TRANSPLANTATION

Abstract

Ten arteriographic studies were carried out on 6 patients following renal transplantations. These studies demonstrated varying types of post-transplantation complications including anastomotic site stenosis, rejection phenomenon, arteriolar nephrosclerosis and compression secondary to hemorrhage. Arteriography has its greatest value in evaluating the intactness of the renal vascular system and in establishing the presence of renal parenchymal disease, although not necessarily differentiating the various types.
