Why the study?
Do early Doppler ultrasonography indexes (RI and PI) predict long-term kidney function in newly kidney transplant patients?
Do early Doppler ultrasonography indexes (RI and PI) predict long-term kidney function in newly kidney transplant patients?
Early assessment of resistive and pulsatility indexes via Doppler ultrasonography can serve as predictive parameters for long-term function of transplanted kidneys.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early RI/PI may predict long-term graft dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Ramezani et al. (2012) studied this question.
