Background: Chronic kidney disease encompasses a spectrum of different pathophysiological processes associated with abnormal renal function and a progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate. Duplex ultrasonography is widely available and important

Intrarenal Resistance Index as a Prognostic Parameter in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis Compared with Other Hepatic Scoring Systems [PDF]
Background and Aims: Patients with advanced liver cirrhosis who develop renal dysfunction have a poor prognosis. Elevated intrarenal resistance indices (RIs) due to renal vascular constriction have been described before in cirrhotic patients.

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 as a Novel Indicator for Renal Complications in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice
Background/Aims: The renal resistive index (RI) is a novel candidate as a renal injury prognostic indicator, but it remains unclear how renal RI levels correspond to renal injury in diabetic nephropathy. Methods: To examine this issue, we compared 8-week-

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.

A retrospective study of acute kidney injury in dogs with renal resistive index as a prognostic indicator [PDF]
Doppler ultrasonography is relatively a new method for evaluation of the renal diseases in dogs. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of renal resistive index (RRI) in diagnosis and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs and to ...

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
