Introduction
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end‐stage 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).
