The Predictive Value of Arterial Renal Blood Flow Parameters in Renal Graft Survival

摘要: Abstract Background Renal allograft survival depends on a number of factors, however, no reliable simple parameter has been shown to predict long-term outcome after transplantation. Ultrasound is recognized and relatively inexpensive, providing information about renal location, contour, size. Doppler ultrasonography shows kidney morphology hemodynamics. The aim this study was the evaluation whether ultrasound arteries performed in early stage transplantation valuable predictor for long-term-outcomes. Material Methods included 17 female 24 male patients, aged 17–69 years with stable graft function. flow done 1st 3rd day transplantaion, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 20th day. measured indices were as follows: maximum blood velocity (Vmax), minimum (Vmin), resistive index (RI), pulsatile (PI). creatinine concentration evaluated, eGFR calculated. Results Mean intrarenal artery RI increased 3 transplantation, then reduced. mean Vmax at correlated positively (r = 0.38; P .015); 0.45; .003, respectively). Vmin 0.50; .001; r 0.41; .008, 1 did not correlate eGFR. Conclusions Early Ultrasonography hemodynamics may be outcomes. Blood within seemed an important factor.
