Advances in the use of ultrasonography can enhance our ability to better characterize acute
kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decrease in kidney …

Abstract Introduction Renal Doppler resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) values are
potentially more sensitive at detecting renal abnormalities when compared to standard …

Introduction: Doppler ultrasound has been extensively used in renal diseases. Data of the
normal renal resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of normal adult individuals in a …

Clinicians frequently study arterial Doppler velocimetric waveforms depicted by Doppler
sonography of the kidneys, the heart, the brain, and the feto-maternal circulation to assess …

BACKGROUND: Increased renal echogenicity is a non-specific ultrasound finding. It may be
a normal variation or suggestive of various underlying conditions like renal amyloidosis …

Background: The kidney volume is a very reliable ultrasound measure, reflecting
contributions from all kidney parts. It could be affected by gender, body size and disease …
