Multimodality imaging of pancreas-kidney transplants
Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant remains a treatment option for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 1, aimed at restoring normoglycemia, alleviating insulin dependency, avoiding diabetic nephropathy, and thereby improving the quality of life. Imaging remains critical in the assessment of these transplant grafts. Ultrasound with Doppler remains the primary imaging modality for establishing baseline assessment of the graft as well as for evaluating vascular, parenchymal, and perigraft complications.
