Urinary tract stones are the most common causes of urinary tract obstruction, leading to patient hospitalization in the emergency room. This study is aimed to evaluate the use of the mean resistance index (mRI) to predict hydronephrosis in patients ...

Renal resistive index in obese and non‑obese cats
This study aimed to compare renal function between obese and normal‑weight healthy cats, using intrarenal resistive index (RI), serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), and serum creatinine, and to identify the variables that might influence intrarenal ...

Subcapsular renal transplant hematoma mimicking acute tubular necrosis
Key Clinical Message Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end‐stage renal disease. However, it is associated with serious potential complications, one of which is the subcapsular renal transplant hematoma. Ultrasound is the

Renal Resistive Index and Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Essential Hypertension [PDF]
In the September issue of Hypertension , Doi et al1 analyzed the prognostic implications of elevated ultrasound renal resistive indices (RRI) in hypertensive subjects without overt cardiovascular disease. In line with earlier studies among patients with chronic kidney disease and among kidney allograft recipients, elevated RRI were found to predict ...

Renal Resistive Index and Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Essential Hypertension [PDF]
Increased renal restive index (RI) measured using Doppler ultrasonography has been shown to correlate with the degree of renal impairment in hypertensive patients. We investigated the prognostic role of RI in cardiovascular and renal outcomes.

Renal resistive index in hypertensive patients: a one centre study
BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of kidney dysfunction. Renal resistive index (RRI) was an index to evaluate arterial compliance and/or resistance, reflecting the reduction of kidney function and microalbuminuria.

Determinants and Prognostic Significance of the Renal Resistive Index [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The noninvasive assessment of renal hemodynamics is currently possible by assessing the renal resistive index (RRI) derived from intrarenal Doppler arterial waveforms as (peak systolic velocity - end-diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity. In this review, we outline the important determinants of the

Effects of Sacubitril/Valsartan on the Renal Resistance Index
Background: Sacubitril/valsartan plays a key role in improving left ventricular remodeling and prognosis in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Moreover, some data support its role in preserving renal function. In order to better clarify the effects of sacubitril/valsartan in cardiorenal syndrome, this study evaluated ...
