Assessment of Renal Transplant Perfusion by Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound after Switch from Calcineurin Inhibitor to Belatacept: A Pilot Study
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) have improved short-term kidney allograft survival but are nephrotoxic and vasoconstrictive. Vasoconstriction is potentially reversible after switching from CNIs to belatacept. The kidney allograft shows optimal requirements for dynamic perfusion imaging using contrast-...
