Introduction
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with
endāstage renal disease. However, it is associated with serious
potential complications. In the immediate posttransplant period,
ultrasound (US) is considered to be one of the major imaging tools in
the evaluation of early graft complications. In fact, it is a
noninvasive, nonionizing, effective and reliable imaging modality that
is accessible and portable, and provides immediate results.
We discuss two cases of patients who underwent a living-donor kidney
transplantation, complicated by subcapsular hematoma mimicking acute
tubular necrosis (ATN) on Color Doppler Ultrasonography Study (CDUS).
