Abstract

Renal transplantation, which is the best treatment for end-stage renal failure, increases the life expectancy and provides a better quality of life when compared to dialysis. Scintigraphy is a non-invasive, frequently repeated, and easily applicable study for evaluating vascular complications, urinary leakage, and obstructions as well as graft function after transplantation and during follow-up. It is also a guide for the evaluation of medical complications such as acute tubular necrosis and acute rejection. Basal transplant kidney scintigraphy performed within 2-3 days after transplantation also has prognostic value. Although its application is not very different from normal dynamic renal scans, it has some differences in terms of both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of kidney perfusion compared to other renal scans.
