Kidney transplant evaluation, specifically in abdominal ultrasound, is a comprehensive medical assessment crucial for potential recipients and living donors. This involves detailed imaging to examine native kidneys, bladder, and major vessels, ensuring no abnormalities preclude transplantation or compromise surgical success. Pre-transplant ultrasound identifies conditions like hydronephrosis, masses, or vascular stenosis that could impact the procedure.
Post-transplant, abdominal ultrasound remains vital for monitoring the allograft, detecting complications like fluid collections, rejection, or arterial/venous compromise. Regular follow-up scans with medical ultrasound provide essential insights into graft health and function, guiding timely interventions for optimal patient outcomes and long-term success.
