Abstract #1405590: Resistive Index (RI) on Renal Doppler as an Early Marker for Detecting Diabetic Nephropathy (DN)

This study was carried out to find Resistive Index (RI) on Renal Doppler as an early marker for detecting DN and also sensitivity of RI detection Diabetic nephropathy. It’s a case control 100 patients age >18 years Study group included 50 diabetic with microalbuminuria without constituted controls. Detailed clinical history microvascular complications were recorded. All underwent by single operator ultrasound GE Voluson E8 3.5 Htz probe assessed. Proportion >0.7 significantly higher in compared Mean ± SD 0.72 0.06, which (0.61 0.04). (p value <0.0001). The who had nephropathy, 70.00% resistive index >0.7. If >0.7, then there 100.00% probability nephropathy if index< =0.7, 76.92% chances absence Significant positive correlation seen between urine albuminuria (mg/dL) having coefficient 0.414. present points significant increase intrarenal arterial renal doppler among patients, when diabetics So, can be used early, sensitive
