The article presents the results of 205 ultrasound examinations of kidney transplants in 85 patients from 02.11.2015 till 25.04.2016. The diagnostic value of the shear wave ultrasound elastography is discussed for the evaluation of the transplanted kidney at various stages after transplantation.

Key words: ultrasound examination, compression elastography, shear wave elastography, Doppler examination.
