Popis:	Abstract Background Contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) assessment of kidney allografts mainly focuses on graft rejection. However, studies on delayed graft function (DGF) without acute rejection are still lacking. The aim of this study was to build a time-intensity curve (TIC) using CEUS in non-immunological DGF to understand the utility of CEUS in early transplantation. Methods Twenty-eight patients in the short-term postoperative period (
