Emergency Doppler evaluation of the liver and kidneys

Michelle M McNamara et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2004 Mar.

Abstract

Doppler ultrasound is useful in the emergent evaluation of the liver and kidney transplant patient. Arterial stenosis, pseudoaneurysm, and venous thrombosis are treatable causes of allograft failure that can be detected easily with color and spectral Doppler. Doppler has a limited but important role in the emergent evaluation of the native liver and kidneys, usually involving prior biopsy or instrumentation.
