Role of Renal Resistive Index in Unilateral Acute Renal Obstruction, Diabetic and Hypertensive Nephropathy

Abstract

Find out the role of Resistive Index and compare the Doppler waveform alterations in unilateral acute renal obstruction (UARO) with the contralateral normal kidney as a control.To evaluate the role of duplex Doppler renal resistive index as a predictor of progression of nephropathy in chronic medical diseases especially in diabetes mellitus and hypertension and mainly primary objective of this study was to determine whether the intra renal resistive index can be used as a predictor of progression of disease in patients with unilateral acute renal obstruction and chronic medical renal diseases especially diabetic and renal diseases.
