Abstract
Fifty-three patients were evaluated with computerized tomography (CT) after renal transplantation. The diagnostic value of CT scanning was primarily in differentiating between patients with acute rejection and those with obstructive uropathy, urinary fistula or significant perinephric fluid collections. CT guidance may be helpful in performing anterograde pyelography or percutaneous allograft biopsy. The CT scan provides an effective, non-invasive, complementary method of evaluating post-transplant dysfunction.
