Abstract


ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of MDCT-Angiography in diagnosing the accuracy of renal artery variations in living renal donors.

Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective exploratory study to review medical records of 522 patients referred to Radiology department for pre-operation Renal Angiography of donors for renal transplantation from 2010 to 2012. The study group coprised of 304 males and 218 females with age range between 19 – 64 years.The Sensitivity and reliability analyses were carried out using SPSS 22

Results: Out of 522 patients, 443 single arteries found on CT and 444 were found on surgery with a mean difference of minus one, 73 cases were identified on CT and 71 cases were verified by the gold standard surgery with a mean difference of plus two. Whereas, six cases were diagnosed in CT and seven cases were verified by gold standard surgery with a mean difference of minus one in triple arteries.

Conclusion: MDCT-Angiography is found to be highly accurate for the diagnosis of renal artery variations as compared to the conventional method. Our findings are significantly associated with the surgical diagnosis.
