Daily ultrasonographic measurements of transplant cross-sectional area were used to quantify allograft swelling as a diagnostic test for acute rejection in a series of 120 renal transplants. Initial graft function (IF) occurred in 86 patients (72%) and primary non-function (PNF) occurred in the rema
To elucidate the role of Doppler hepatic hemodynamic parameters as surrogate markers of acute rejection (AR) after live donor liver transplantation (LDLT), serial Doppler measurements were prospectively performed during the first 2 weeks after LDLT to compare the longitudinal hepatic hemodynamic cha
## Abstract In this prospective study we have used ultrasonographic measurements of the cross-sectional area of transplanted kidneys, as an objective assessment of graft size, for diagnosis of acute rejection episodes.
