FIGURE 8.  Graft dysfunction 1 d after transplantation in 41-y-old woman. Baseline renography (A) and ACE inhibitor renography (B) show prolonged tracer transit in renal parenchyma on images and on renal and bladder curves, as compared with baseline. (C) Color duplex sonographic assessment of intrarenal vessels shows parvus–tardus pattern. (D) Color duplex sonographic exploration of renal artery demonstrates disturbance of flow. (E) Coronal 3-dimensional MRA image shows short narrowing of renal artery (arrow) at site of anastomosis. Laparotomy revealed kinking of renal artery graft. ACEI = ACE inhibitor.
