RI in kidney allografts may reflect recipient vascular stiffness; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do parameters of vascular stiffness influence the intrarenal resistance index in kidney allograft patients?
Interpretation of the resistance index in renal allografts should account for recipient vascular stiffness parameters such as intima media thickness, pulse pressure, and pulse wave velocity.
Schwenger et al. (2006) studied this question.
