Abstract
This study was done to asses the accuracy of renal
angiography in the actual living donors renal transplantation ,as
compared to operative findings in renal transplant unit–Ahmed
Gasim Hospital ,Khartoum North –Sudan.
A retrospective hospital data based study. It include (100)
donors, males (67) and females (33), done within December 2000-
dec.2004. The age ranged between (18-50years), while the
majority (20-30 yrs.).The predominant number of donors
originates from northern Sudan (50.6%).The 1st degree relationship
between donors and recipients (91.8%), mainly brothers (56.4%)
and sisters (21.8%)
Angiographicaly single renal artery was found in 92 (92%)
in right kidney and 85 (85%) in the left. In all donors the length
of the renal arteries was found to be normal. Also the caliber of the
renal arteries was found angiographicaly normal for donation.
Based on angiographic finding the left kidney selected for
donation in (84) donors while right in (16) only. After
nephrectomy, surgically the donated kidneys was found of a single
renal artery in (93.9%) compared to (6.1%) of a double renal
artery. Surgically the length of renal arteries of all donated kidneys
was found normal. Also the caliber of renal arteries found to be
normal surgically.
Renal angiography was found very accurate in detecting the
single renal artery in the right kidney (100%) while (96%) in the
left kidney. Also in case of multiple renal arteries, renal
angiography more accurate in right (100%) while (60%) in the left.
This in comparison to surgical findings.
Accuracy of renal angiography in evaluating the length of
the renal artery was (100%) accurate. Also was (100%) in
evaluating the caliber of the renal arteries as compared with the
surgical findings.
Based on the accuracy of renal angiography, it can be used
as radiological tools in evaluating the renal blood supply, as well
as other organs in human body.
