The 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...
متن کاملArterial hypertension and renal allograft survival.
CONTEXT Several observational studies have investigated the significance of hypertension in renal allograft failure; however, these studies have been complicated by the lack of adjustment for baseline renal function, leaving the role of elevated blood pressure in allograft failure unclear. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between blood pressure adjusted for renal function and survival af...
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 کاملThe Renal Arterial Resistive Index and Stage of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Renal Allograft
OBJECTIVE The study investigated the optimal threshold value of renal arterial resistive index as assessed by Doppler ultrasonography determining chronic kidney disease stage 4 or higher in patients with renal allograft. METHODS In a cross-sectional study the renal arterial resistive index were obtained in interlobar arteries by Doppler ultrasonography in 78 patients with renal allograft. The...
متن کاملAssociation of CCR5-59029 A/G and CCR2-V64I Variants with Renal Allograft Survival
Background: Despite advances in the medical care of renal transplant recipients which have led to an improvement in allograft survival, renal allograft rejection is still a major ob-stacle to successful organ transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to allograft rejection will be of great importance for the development of efficient antirejection strategies. Objective: The aim ...
