Kidney Transplant Volumetry
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Detailed Description
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
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Intraclass coefficient of correlation of the ultrasound volume measurement [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 Outcome Measures
- Intraclass coefficient of correlation of the volume formula parameters. [6 months]
The reproducibility of each formula parameter will also be assessed.
