Correlation of histopathologic and dynamic tissue perfusion measurement findings in transplanted kidneys
BACKGROUND Cortical perfusion of the renal transplant can be non-invasively assessed by color Doppler ultrasonography. We performed the Dynamic Tissue Perfusion Measurement (DTPM) of the transplant's renal cortex using color Doppler ultrasonography (PixelFlux technique), and compared the results with the histopathological findings of transplant biopsies. METHODS Ninety-six DTPM studies of the...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Dynamic Tissue Perfusion Measurements in Transplanted Kidneys
Background: The dynamic tissue perfusion measurement in renal transplants has demonstrated its potential to correlate microvascular perfusion changes with histologic changes in the renal cortex [1]. Cross sectional studies have shown that the cortical perfusion depends on the time elapsed after transplantation [2,3] but has not yet been applied as a prognostic marker. Therefore, we compared in ...
متن کاملHistopathological findings in transplanted kidneys
Improvements in immunosuppression have reduced acute kidney allograft rejection and clinicians are now seeking ways to prolong allograft survival to 20 years and beyond. The primary cause of kidney allograft loss is still chronic rejection, followed by death with a functioning allograft and primary kidney disease recurrence. Thus, overcoming kidney allograft rejection remains the most important...
متن کاملDynamic Tissue Perfusion Measurement – Basics and Applications
Perfusion is a fundamental prerequisite for all living tissues to meet their needs in terms of supply of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, messenger substances and other necessary dilutes. Dynamic Tissue Perfusion Measurement (DTPM) was developed to quantify the perfusion of tissues and organs by means of colour Doppler sonography. Perfusion is perceived as a certain amount of blood passing through ...
