Urography and isotope renography following renal transplantation. 1979

T Reitamo, and L Laasonen, and B Kock, and J Edgren

The clinical yield from routine urography following renal transplantation was compared with that from isotope renography. In 50 recipients of renal transplants, 59 urograms and 55 renograms were studied. The most common pathologic finding at urography was renal papillary necrosis (in 6 patients). This condition had no obvious correlation with the further fate of the transplant. There were no other significant pathologic changes. It is concluded that isotope renography can be regarded as sufficient for routine follow-up. One baseline urogram is useful, but additional urographies should be carried out only when clinically indicated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007681 Kidney Papillary Necrosis A complication of kidney diseases characterized by cell death involving KIDNEY PAPILLA in the KIDNEY MEDULLA. Damages to this area may hinder the kidney to concentrate urine resulting in POLYURIA. Sloughed off necrotic tissue may block KIDNEY PELVIS or URETER. Necrosis of multiple renal papillae can lead to KIDNEY FAILURE.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.
