Abstract:
:Seventy-one patients with allograft dysfunction had concomitant Doppler sonography and percutaneous biopsy. Forty-one had biopsy proven acute cellular rejection and eight had acute cellular rejection in combination with acute tubular necrosis. Real time ultrasonic appearance and various parameters of Doppler waveform were studied and compared with 30 controls who had a long period of stable function with no previous episodes of rejection or acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Morphological appearances were unhelpful in diagnosing rejection. A resistive index greater than 0.8 in the study group was highly specific for dysfunction but could not differentiate between acute rejection and ATN. However, two patients in the control group of normal transplants had a resistive index of 0.83. An early to mid diastolic notch was highly specific for acute rejection but of low sensitivity. It may be the only Doppler indication of cellular rejection and may be present when the resistive index is in the normal range.
