Significant increase in 1-year posttransplant renal arterial index predicts graft loss.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Conflicting data have been reported concerning the use of kidney graft arterial resistance index (RI) measured by Doppler to predict death-censored graft loss. We hypothesized that changes in RI values could carry better information than a single measure of RI. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Four hundred twenty-five renal transplant recipients were inc...
متن کاملRelationship between Intra-renal Arterial Resistance Index (RI) and Albuminuria in Diabetic Patients
OBJECTIVE: Diabetic nephropathy is a major diabetes complication. Arterial resistance index (RI) may predict deterioration in kidney function. This study was designed to compare renal arterial RI in different stages of renal function according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR), serum creatinine level and proteinuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional study on 81 diabetic patients i...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index predicts stroke in a general population.
OBJECTIVE The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) can be computed from individual 24-h blood pressure recordings. METHODS We investigated the prognostic value of AASI and 24-h pulse pressure in a random sample of 1829 Danes, aged 40-70 years. We adjusted for sex, age, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, smoking, diabetes, ratio of total to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and...
متن کاملMicophenolat Mofetil versus Azathioprine: effects on renal graft function in early posttransplant period.
All conventional immunosuppressive tree drugs-protocols are based on Cyclosporine; consisting of low doses of Cyclosporine (CsA), Azathioprine (AZA) or Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) and Prednisolone. AZA has been used in clinical transplantation for more than 30 years and was the first immunosuppressive agent to achieve widespread use in organ transplantation. MMF was introduced in clinical pract...
متن کاملThe renal arterial resistance index and renal allograft survival.
BACKGROUND Most renal transplants fail because of chronic allograft nephropathy or because the recipient dies, but no reliable factor predicting long-term outcome has been identified. We tested whether a renal arterial resistance index of less than 80 was predictive of long-term allograft survival. METHODS The renal segmental arterial resistance index (the percentage reduction of the end-dias...
