The echography of transplanted kidney is a modern noninvasive investigation method with significant information value. It is easily applicable even in cases of the gravest states of the patients, allowing the dynamic observation almost immediately in the post-transplantation period. The early and chronic crisis of transplant rejection is excellently diagnosed by echography as well as of perirenal liquid collections, arterial and venous thrombosis, obstructions of excretory ducts. Results are reported from 37 echographic examinations of II kidney transplanted patients, manifesting the following complications: 8 acute crises of transplant rejection, 6--acute tubular necrosis, 3--vascular thrombosis and renal infarctions, 2--perirenal collections. 3--lightly dilated pyelo-calix system. The majority of the echographic diagnoses were confirmed by clinical-laboratory methods, X-ray examination methods and at operation.
