Abstract

Background: The measurement of  Doppler Ultrasonography(DU) indexes, including  resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI), could assist in evaluating   an transplanted kidney. Aim of study: This work attempted at determining how  Doppler sonography indexes correlated with  transplanted kidney (graft) function. Methods: Our  cross-sectional study conducted  on 18 kidney transplanted patient (10 male and 8 female). In all cases, DU had been conducted upon  transplanted kidney. We analyzed  data on the  pulsatility index (PI) and  resistive index (RI)   in the interlobular arteries. Concurrent serum creatinine explored in comparison  to the DU results. . Results: The pi and Ri correlate  significantly , in liner manner  with serum creatinine (P = .005, and P=.002 respectively). Conclusion: The PI  and RI are important DU markers for determining the kidney allograft function.
