Efficacy of Renal Doppler in Intrinsic Renal Parenchymal Diseases: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Aims & objectives 1. To determine the mean resistive index of intrarenal segmental arteries using color Doppler in renal parenchymal disease. 2. Retrospective assessment of sensitivity of RI to distinguish medical renal disease. Summary: In the present study during the period of 12 months, 50 patients of medical renal disease who underwent renal biopsy were evaluated with renal doppler using RI factor as criteria. Patients with glomerular disease had normal RI values and increased RI value were seen in case of tubulointerstial, vascular pathologies. Thus RI helps in localizing the disease pathology and is also helpful in assessing the prognosis of the disease once it is diagnosed. Doppler could not differentiate between tubulointerstitial and vascular diseases and biopsy remains the gold standard to differentiate them. Conclusion: The Doppler findings of our study were correlated with renal biopsy and found that intrarenal segmental arterial RI can clearly differentiate among glomerular and non glomerular pathologies.
