Outcome of kidney transplantation following end-stage renal disease due to reflux nephropathy
2011, Transplantation ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :Because the likelihood of confronting abnormal findings is low in pretransplantation adults, the rise of VCUG has been controversial in recent years. Shandera et al14 examined 333 pretransplantation patients with VCUG observing genitourinary abnomalities in 51. However, they stated that these abnormalities could have been predicted, or the abnormalities might not be severe enough to necessitate repair before transplantation.
Selective Use of Voiding Cystourethrography in Children Undergoing Renal Transplant Evaluation
2009, Journal of UrologyCitation Excerpt :To date, no child undergoing transplant during the study period has required additional post-transplant urological reconstructive surgery for unidentified bladder pathology or problematic native VUR. Previous studies have supported selective use of VCUG in adults as a component of the pre-transplant evaluation.7,9 We were able to identify only 1 other study addressing the usefulness of pre-transplant VCUG among children.8

2007, Transplantation ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :They emphasized that LUT dysfunction should be corrected before transplantation. Similar opinions have been presented by Gill et al,10 Lo et al,11 MacGregor et al,12 Marshal et al13 Ramirez et al,14 and Shandera et al.15 Many authors stress that, in justified cases, it is necessary to perform a specialist functional evaluation of the urethra and/or urinary bladder in the form of URD. In 14 dialyzed patients, Coritsiadis et al.16 stated that thorough urologic assessment allowed them to make a proper decision regarding indications for transplantation and the type of urinary outflow.
