Ultrasound imaging is a key investigatory step in the evaluation of chronic kidney disease
and kidney transplantation. It uses nonionizing radiation, is noninvasive, and generates real …

Non‐invasive ultrasound (US) imaging enables the assessment of the properties of
superficial blood vessels. Various modes can be used for vascular characteristics analysis …

Ultrasound assessment of the kidneys in patients with renal impairment has been described
in various ways in the critical care, nephrology, and radiology literature, resulting in a …

Chronic kidney disease is most desirably and cost-effectively treated by renal
transplantation, but graft survival is a major challenge. Although irreversible graft damage …

Objective. The aim of the present retrospective observational study was to evaluate the
change of Renal Resistive Index (RRI) over time (ΔRRI) and under treatment in patients with …

Abstract Background Renal Ultra-Sound (US) and Doppler US provide measurements which
reflect changes in renal and systemic haemodynamic. The renal resistive index (RRI) …

Aim of the work To evaluate the renal resistive index (RI) in lupus nephritis (LN) patients and
to study its association with clinical features, laboratory investigations and LN pathological …

Abstract Background Renal Resistive Index (RRI) is an important and non-invasive
parameter of renal damage and it is associated with abnormal microcirculation or to a …

Nephroangiosclerosis (NAS) associated with hypertension continues to be one of the most
causes of end stage renal diseases in Europe, but it is still poorly studied. The prevalence of …

Background This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the renal
resistive index (RRI), renal microvessel density (RMD), and fibrosis in patients with chronic …
