Abstract
Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage kidney disease. Although rejection is the most common complication after transplantation, vascular complications can also occur and are serious, as they can cause graft failure. Non-vascular complications, on the other hand, are more frequent and represent a significant source of morbidity. A multi-disciplinary and individualised approach is essential in the management of renal transplant complications. Interventional radiology plays an important role in the diagnosis and image-guided treatment of these complications, lowering morbidity and protecting graft function.
Learning objectives
- Understand vascular and non-vascular anatomy of renal transplants and recognise early and late causes of transplant dysfunction
- Be able to discuss clinical and diagnostic findings of vascular and non-vascular complications after renal transplantation
- Develop the ability to plan optimal management of vascular and non-vascular complications after renal transplantation
- Achieve technical competence in performing angiography and vascular interventions on transplant kidneys
- Achieve technical competence in performing non-vascular interventions after renal transplantation
