Using the ultrasonic Doppler technique, renal blood flow was measured in 67 patients who underwent living related renal transplantation from January, 1976 to December, 1979. In 58 of 67 cases, 81 acute and 9 chronic rejection episodes occurred. In the initial stage of acute rejection, there are no particular changes in the pattern of systolic blood flow and by contrast marked changes of diastolic flow. The disappearance of the diastolic phase is indicative of an advanced stage of rejection, the reappearance indicative of recovery from rejection, and persistent loss accompanied by changes of systolic flow indicative of an unfavorable prognosis of rejection. In chronic rejection, there are rapid changes of neither systolic nor diastolic flow though the acceleration time in the systolic phase lengthens gradually. The ultrasonic Doppler flow technique for blood flowmetry of a transplanted kidney is a useful means of knowing the prognosis of rejection and provides an index for corticosteroid bolus therapy.
