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

Prognostic Factors of Renal Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]
Background/Aims: Renal involvement is common in systemic sclerosis (SSc), including asymptomatic reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), increased renal resistance indices, scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) and ANCA-associated vasculitis. The aim was

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 ...

Serum uric acid as a marker of microvascular damage in systemic sclerosis patients [PDF]
Background: Microvascular damage of skin and internal organs is a hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Serum uric acid (UA) represents a marker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

Short-term effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists on fat distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an ultrasonography study [PDF]
AIMS:Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) induce weight loss and reduction in adipose tissue, but the effects of GLP-1 RA on the distribution of fat deposits have been poorly investigated. METHODS: In 25 patients with type 2 diabetes (16

Of all the measured parameters in nephrology, none is more misunderstood and misused than the renal resistive index ( RI ). Although it is used widely as a marker of renal pathology based on the assumption that structural changes in the kidney alter renal vascular resistance, the sensitivity and specificity of RI for this purpose are questionable,1 and

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.

Left ventricular mass and intrarenal arterial stiffness as early diagnostic markers in cardiorenal syndrome type 5 due to systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Background: Cardiorenal syndrome type 5 (CRS-5) includes a group of conditions characterized by a simultaneous involvement of the heart and kidney in the course of a systemic disease.
