Kidney Transplant Volumetry

This study assesses the reproducibility of 3 different formulas in calculating the volume of a transplanted kidney by ultrasound in-vivo measurements.

3 series of measurements will be performed by 2 different operators during the usual ultrasound follow-up of the renal transplant.

About this study

The 3 series of measurements

Longitudinal section: maximum longitudinal length, width at the hilum, maximum width, width at the upper third, longitudinal cross-sectional area
Transverse section at the hilum : thickness, width, hilar cross-sectional area
Largest transverse section : thickness, width, maximum transverse cross-sectional area

Clinical and biological patient data collection:

age, gender, date of transplantation, serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), kidney transplant placement (right or left iliac fossa), acute illness or usual follow-up

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Intraclass coefficient of correlation of the ultrasound volume measurement

Time frame: 6 months

The inter-observer and intra-observer variability of the ultrasound volume measurement of the kidney graft will be assessed using the intraclass coefficient of correlation (ICC)

Secondary outcomes

Intraclass coefficient of correlation of the volume formula parameters.

Time frame: 6 months

The reproducibility of each formula parameter will also be assessed.
