Abstract

From March 1982 to September 1983 62 ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytologies in 22 patients with cadaveric kidney transplants had been performed during the postoperative hospitalisation period. In any case it was possible to guide the needle tip into the cortico-medullary boundary or in sonolucent parenchymal areas occurring during acute cellular rejection episodes. Thus technical failures could be reduced to 6% (4 out of 22). In 79% the clinically suscepted diagnosis could be confirmed by FNAC. Aspirates from circumscript sonolucent parenchymal areas allowed rejection diagnosis in 95%. In 17% cellular signs of rejection were seen cytologically despite a regular transplant function.
