So this patient had a real transplant place
0:03
in the right lower quadrant had some delayed graph function
0:06
and so got an ultrasound and we can see in our grayscale image
0:09
quite abnormal appearing right level
0:12
quadrival transplant. So you can kind of see the borders of
0:15
it here and over here, but really along the interpolar
0:18
region looks very Mass, like looks very
0:21
enlarged. It looks quite heterogeneous. And so that itself
0:24
does not look like normal renal parenchyma.
0:27
We're measuring all this thing at 14 centimeters. That's
0:30
probably a little bit over measured and I think what's interesting to note here
0:33
is when you do color Imaging you can see there's color flow within this portion of
0:36
the renal Prime combat and whatever this is, there's absolutely no
0:39
color flow within it similarly on Power
0:42
Doppler, which is much more sensitive to flow. You can see that there is
0:45
a portion here that looks math like that's really devoid of
0:48
flow.
0:49
These portions here though. I do have color flow.
0:52
And when you sort of interrogate some of the vessels we
0:55
can see that the resistive Industries are quite high and
0:58
these are up to one with essentially no diastolic flow seen
1:01
within many of these vessels in the upper pole segmental
1:04
interlobar areas.
1:06
As well as the lower pole segmental interlobar areas. And
1:09
so again when we sort of evaluate this
1:13
renal transplant itself and you look at some of these images it becomes
1:16
clear that what you're actually seeing is a large
1:19
collection about at least 10 centimeters in length
1:22
by three and a half centimeters and thickness that is sub capsular
1:25
and causing Mass Effect upon. Can you look at the border of
1:28
the kidney here? That's sort of indented a little bit more medially.
1:32
And that's the portion of the kidney that has flow the hematoma doesn't
1:35
have flow. And so this turns out to be a large subcapsular hematoma,
1:38
which is causing enough Mass
1:41
Effect upon the vessels within the kidney such
1:44
that their resistive indices within the kidney itself
1:47
is high and there's increased vascular resistance internally. So
1:50
again, the differential for elevator is the disease can
1:53
be a number of things. It can be certainly ATN in the
1:56
first three days acute rejection in the first week to three weeks
1:59
and chronic rejection and about the first three months but there
2:02
are other causes that can do including large hematomas that
2:05
cause Mass Effect upon the kidney we can see how in this instance a
2:08
large enough hematoma can certainly cause enough Mass
2:11
effects that the diastolic flow decreases
2:14
and the reason to the next goes up.
