Popis:	We evaluated the utility of sonography and nuclear medicine renography in the detection of urine leaks in 57 renal transplant patients. Sonography and renography were equally sensitive in detecting leaks. But renography was more specific and therefore accurate (p0.0001) in detecting leaks. Urine leaks should be considered on sonography, which is often the first imaging study ordered in evaluating renal transplants, with new or increasing peritransplant fluid collections. Leaks should be confirmed by renography before performing additional invasive radiologic or surgical procedures.
