The increasing need for cadaveric kidneys has caused the criteria for acceptable donor kidneys to include younger and older donors. Researchers have been studying the use of infant kidneys as a source for adult transplant. When used as a pair, infant kidneys transplanted into an adult have been found to filter an adult volume of blood. Sonographers will be asked to evaluate this type of transplant. Understanding the specific features of the transplant will aid in that process.

Key Words: en bloc kidneys • chronic kidney failure • renal transplant
