Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ultrasound examinations of the pelvis and kidney have been carried out following 68 renal transplants. In 16 patients moderate sized or large perirenal or pelvic fluid collections were demonstrated. The composition of the fluid was lymph in seven cases, pus in four, blood in three and urine in two. Ten of these 16 patients had clinical features compatible with a pelvic fulid collection while six had no such localising features. We have found ultrasound to be extremely valuable in the diagnosis and precise localisation of pelvic fulid collections following transplantation, often at a stage before pressure effects and symptoms have appeared. It also provides a rapid and reliable means of excluding a pelvic or perirenal abscess in the pyrexial patient. |
