Figure 7.30 (A) Pulsatile venous waveform is seen as a result of a small arteriovenous fistula following biopsy<br />

procedure. (B) This renal artery aneurysm appears cystic on grey-scale. (C) Colour Doppler demonstrates arterial flow.<br />

Ciclosporin nephrotoxicity<br />

The toxic nature of the immonosuppressive regime<br />

requires the dose to be very carefully adjusted. There<br />

may be increased Doppler resistance, as for acute<br />

tubular necrosis, but normally indices remain unaffected.<br />

Histology is required to confirm the diagnosis,<br />

or a clinical improvement following reduction or<br />

withdrawal of the immunosuppressive agent.<br />

Renal transplant dysfunction and Doppler<br />

correlation<br />

Doppler correlation with the different types of<br />

renal graft dysfunction is not possible. However,<br />

by taking the clinical picture into account it is possible<br />

to differentiate these situations. (Table 7.4).
