The Study of Ultrasound and Doppler in Diabetic Renal Disease Correlative Study with Biochemical Parameters. -A Cross Sectional Study

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus affects the whole vascular system, leading to both microvascular and macrovascular complications [1]. Diabetic nephropathy is the dreadful microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, which lead to end stage kidney disease (ESKD), which increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality [2]. Duplex sonography of the renal artery provides an easily applicable, non-invasive, and well-established way to assess changes in renal vasculature caused by diabetes [5]. In this study, detecting subtle changes in renal vasculature with renal artery Doppler, particularly RI (RESISITIVE INDEX) values, and correlating with biochemical parameters such as creatinine, and urine albumin, helps the physician for accurate management of diabetes patients preventing complications. Objective: Evaluation of renal sono-morphological characteristics using gray scale ultrasound and renal vascular resistance by doppler in patients with diabetic renal disease. Correlation among renal ultrasound, colour doppler, and biochemical parameters in diabetic renal disease .
