Color Doppler findings in transplanted kidneys and remnant kidneys of donors 6 to 12 months after kidney transplantation.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:Ultrasonography and color Doppler have been used extensively in the evaluation of transplanted kidney. The aim of this study was evaluation and comparison of color Doppler sonography findings in the remnant kidney of living donors and the transplanted kidney at 6 to 12 months after kidney transplantation. METHODS:In a cross-sectional study we evaluated ultrasonographic (US) and color Doppler findings in 20 kidney allograft recipient and donors. Group 1 were unrelated and related kidney donors, and group 2, allograft recipients. Color Doppler US was performed by one sonologist on the remnant kidney of the living donor and the transplanted kidney of the recipient at 6 to 12 months after kidney donation and transplantation. We recorded, kidney size (including length and anteroposterior diameter), cortical thickness, resistive index (RI), and pulsatile index (PI). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 13 win (t test) for comparison of the results in donors and recipients. All data are presented as mean values +/- SD with P values less than .05 considered significant. RESULTS:In group 1, mean age of kidney allograft recipients was 39.92 +/- 11.95 years with male-to-female ratio of 1/2. Mean length, width, and cortical thickness of the transplanted kidney were 120.15 +/- 11.95 mL, 53.65 +/- 7.50 mL, and 8.53 +/- 1.00 mL, respectively. Mean RI and PI were 0.60 +/- 0.08 and 1.02 +/- 0.23, respectively. Mean serum creatinine was 1.23 +/- 0.24 mg/dL. Mean duration of renal transplantation was 7.27 +/- 1.10 months. In group 2, mean age of recipients was 25.63 +/- 3.50 years with male-to-female ratio of 1/10. Mean length, anteroposterior diameter, and cortical thickness were 120.77 +/- 9.28 mL, 53.36 +/- 4.52 mL, and 9.04 +/- 1.27 mL, respectively. Mean RI and PI were 0.60 +/- 0.02 and 1.07 +/- 0.13, respectively. There was no significant difference in the length, anteroposterior diameter, cortical thickness, RI, and PI of donors and transplanted kidneys at 6 to 12 months after transplantation (P>.05). There was a significant increase in both donor and recipient kidney size at 6 to 12 months after transplantation (P<.05). CONCLUSION:It seems that renal US and Doppler parameters remain stable in the recipient and donor at least upon short-term evaluation. Long-term study with more patients is recommended.
