Objective To investigate the characteristics and predictive value of ultrasound(US),color doppler flow imaging(CDFI)and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)examinations in recipients with donationafter cardiac death(DCD)donor kidney and living donor kidney(LDK)transplantation. Methods Allogeneickidney transplantation was performed in Organ Transplantation Center of Sichuan Provincial Academy of Medical Sciences and Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from December 2017 to January 2020. Twenty one recipients were enrolled in the DGF group,and 39 recipients with clinically confirmed normal renal function were selected as the immediate graft function group. Recipients underwent renal grayscale ultrasound,color doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound on the first day after renal transplantation. In the DGF group and the transplanted kidney function recovery group(IGF),the renal artery resistance index,cortical time difference,vertebral body time difference,cone peak time,cortical peak intensity and cold ischemia time were recorded to evaluate thefeasibility of these values in predicting early DGF after renal transplantation. Results In this observationalstudy,a total of 60 allogeneic kidney transplant recipients met the criteria for inclusion. Among them,21 patients developed DGF after operation. The renal artery resistance index RI,the time of transplanted renal cortex,the peak time of transplanted kidney cone,the peak intensity of transplanted renal cortex,the difference of cortical cone arrival time and cold ischemia time were combined and analyzed by logistic regression. The index value is calculated as(3.471×main renal artery resistance index +0.157×cortical time difference T1 + 0.120×cone time difference - 0. 105×cortical peak intensity + 0.005×cone peak time + 0.550×cold ischemia time). The area under the ROC curve of the composite index value was 0.901(P < 0.001),the 95% confidence interval for the composite index value was(0.822,0.978),and the diagnostic threshold for the composite index value was 8.8158,and the sensitivity was 85.70. %,the specificity was 84.62%,the positive predictive value was 72%,the negative predictive value was 91.42%,the positive likelihood ratio was 4.77,and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.174. In addition,a large area of perirenal hematoma was found in the early stage of the study,1 case of renal artery stenosis,and 2 cases of renal allograft rejection. Conclusion The study found that the combination of renal artery motility index,transplantation renal cortex time difference,transplantation renal cortex imaging peak intensity,transplantation renal cortex pyramidal imaging time difference,transplanted kidney cold ischemia time can be early and timely predictive markers of delayed graft dysfunction. It has high sensitivity and specificity. This study also found that CEUS has a greater diagnostic value in the detection of early complications of transplanted kidneys,and can promptly detect peri-renal hematomas,stenosis of the transplanted renal arteries,and acute rejection of the transplanted kidneys.
