Resumen

GARCIA GOMEZ, Odalis et al. Doppler scanning and ultrasound B-scan in the diagnosis and monitoring of transplanted kidney complications. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.6, pp.960-969. ISSN 1029-3019.

Doppler scanning and ultrasound B-scan are the first test to perform in patients with impaired renal implant function of unknown cause. It provides rapid information on morphological characteristics related to size, thickness and parenchymal echogenicity, corticomedullary differentiation, urinary outflow obstruction, perirenal collections and blood flow characteristics within the renal arteries and veins that are of particular importance when a disease of vascular cause is suspected. The resistance index has predictive value in long-term renal transplant function and in the diagnosis of the implant chronic kidney disease. Ultrasound constitutes the imaging modality of choice for the early diagnosis and monitoring the clinical and surgical complications of the transplanted kidney, which contributes to the early treatment of complications, implant preservation and improvement of the quality of patient's life.

Palabras clave : ultrasound B-scan; Doppler scanning; diagnosis; monitoring; complications; renal transplant.
