Abstract:
In the last years progress of Doppler ultrasonography improved diagnosis of kidney diseases by measurement of intrarenal blood flow parameters. Among them renal resistive index appears to be the most useful in contemporary nephrology. This paper is a review of diagnostic and prognostic advantages resulting from estimation and careful interpretation of renal resistive index in nephrology.
