Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Color Doppler ultrasonography can sensitively reflect the morphological structure and hemodynamic changes of transplanted kidney and dynamically observe the survival of transplanted kidney.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical application efficacy of color Doppler ultrasonography in monitoring the complications of kidney transplantation.
METHODS: A computer-based retrieval was performed using the key words “color Doppler ultrasonography, kidney transplant, postoperative complications” to search the papers addressing the clinical application effects of color Doppler ultrasonography on monitoring the complications of kidney transplantation published between January 1999 and December 2010 in Wanfang database. Finally, 20 papers were included in the final analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Color Doppler ultrasonography is simple, rapid, non-invasive and repeatable and has been preferred to observe the clinical treatment efficacy after kidney transplantation. It can objectively and dynamically display the morphological structure of transplanted kidney, blood flow distribution, frequency spectrum, velocity, and direction in diastolic phase within transplanted kidney, as well as blood flow index. In addition, it can be used to monitor various complications of kidney transplantation, providing valuable information to avoid function loss of transplanted kidney.
