Abstract
Renal transplant recipients [47] who had undergone angiography and transplant biopsy to evaluate impaired allograft function were reviewed. Angiographic criteria for rejection were seen in all allografts with hyperacute rejection, accelerated rejection and chronic rejection, and in 13 of 17 allografts with acute cellular rejection. Angiography was normal in allografts with vasomotor nephropathy or transplant glomerulopathy. Angiography is an accurate method for the diagnosis of most causes of post-transplant dysfunction.
