Role of renal Doppler sonography as a diagnostic tool in patients with various renal disease
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Renal Doppler sonography has been established as a diagnostic tool of the daily nephrological work-up. Extra- and intrarenal flow signals are obtained for different indications. Aim: To evaluate the role of renal Doppler in various native renal diseases and to define the role of renal Doppler in nephrological workup of patients with these disorders. Material and Methods: The study group included 76 patients with various renal disease which were categorized under obstructive nephropathy(n=25), medical renal disease (renal parenchymal disease, n=43) and 8 cases of renal masses. The control group included 20 patients with age range between 6 to 68 yrs. Results: The mean R.I. in the obstructed kidneys (0.729) was significantly higher than the mean R.I. in the controls (0.57± 0.05) and in the contralateral normal kidney (0.58±0.04).The mean R.I. of 0.78 ± 0.06 in case with CRF was significantly different from that of controls (0.57± 0.05). High frequency signals with a large systolic diastolic gradient with high peak systolic velocities were seen in all four cases of RCC. Conclusion: Being aware of several pitfalls which may lead to false results, nephrologists may use renal Doppler sonography as the first screening method of choice as the diagnostic tool.
