ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
A retrospective review of the medical records of 168 patients who were evaluated for renal transplantation was undertaken to determine whether a voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) influenced the surgi cal care of the recipient. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Between June 1989 to May 1998, 168 patients received a transplantation at our center. These patients proceeded to transplantation, with all of them receiving a VCUG as part of their evaluation. We compared incidence of postoperative complications between normal VCUG group and abnormal group during follow up period (mean 31. 6 months).RESULTS:
An urologic abnormality was identified by VCUG in 15 (8.9%) of 168 patients and all of them were vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). In 15 patients with VUR, grade of VUR were grade I in 2, grade II in 10, grade III in 2 and grade IV in 1. None of them with VUR required surgical intervention and had postoperative complications related to VUR.CONCLUSIONS:
The VCUG is not essential for the preparation of potential recipients for renal transplantation and should be utilized selectively in individuals with a history of urologic disease or when urinary tract abnormalities are identified by physical examination or an abnormal urine analysis.
