Rejection of a renal transplant

Renal transplant rejection is one of the feared complications of renal transplantation.

In terms of onset, this can be broadly divided into two groups:

acute renal transplant rejection
chronic renal transplant rejection: usually after one-year post-transplantation (at least after 3 months)

Radiographic assessment and features

Ultrasound

This remains the imaging modality of choice in the assessment of the transplant kidneys ⁴. For detailed features please refer to subtopic articles found in renal transplant complications.
