Ultrasound scanning is useful in evaluating renal transplants: it is atraumatic, independent of renal function, and well suited for analyzing such common complications as lymphocele, abscess, hydronephrosis, and hematoma. When there is uncertainty as to the nature of a paranephric mass, ultrasonically guided percutaneous aspiration is definitive. Ultrasound can also detect the acute increase in renal volume associated with rejection and may prove to be a valuable adjunct in the early diagnosis of this problem.
它无创，不依赖肾功能，非常适合分析诸如淋巴囊肿、脓肿、肾积水和血肿等常见并发症。当肾旁肿块的性质不确定时，超声引导下经皮穿刺抽吸具有决定性意义。超声还可以检测与排斥反应相关的肾体积急性增加，并且可能被证明是早期诊断该问题的有价值辅助手段。
