Directs signs for the evaluation of renal artery stenosis with ultrasound are qualitative and quantitative signs. Aliasing and perivascular artefact with color Doppler imaging, spectral broadening, high-energy anterograde and retrograde velocities, turbulences on pulsed Doppler are qualitative signs. On the...
Ultrasound probes can be placed on the skin overlying the arteries and can accurately detect the site of artery stenosis as well as to measure the degree of obstruction. Angiography - An angiography is an imaging procedure to study the blood vessels of the extremities, similar to the way a ...
Renal vascular problemsincludes renal artery stenosis which is narrowing of the artery that carries blood to the kidney or renal vein thrombosis where a clot forms in the vein carrying blood out of the kidney. Ureter Ask a Doctor Online Now! Many of the conditions that affect the kidney can ...
If a renal artery stenosis (RAS) occurs, downstream Doppler waves are easier to pick up than those from renal artery ostium and trunk and are often of better quality (1, 4, 8). 1. Two indexes are useful for a diagnosis of RAS >50%: - acceleration time (AT) >0,07 sec with good...
Cardiac symptoms usually present with electrocardiographic abnormalities because of conduction defects, pulmonary valve stenosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Abnormalities in ECG can usually be noticed even if the patient has no cardiac structural defects, making it an important tool in confirming the ...
The first is that of a metastasis; or is this the third instance of hepatic peliosis being discovered following a renal carcinoma, however the good general condition of the patient made this diagnosis improbable. In addition, the biopsies did not contain cancer cells. The second is that of an...

The number of cardiovascular events after initiation of haemodialysis treatment was recorded by analysis of the patient’s files. Results: Aortic valve sclerosis was found in 19 dialysis patients (34%) and 1 control (6%), haemodynamically relevant stenosis in additional 14 patients (...
Fifty renal transplanted patients with stable renal function and without diabetes mellitus were studied for more than 1 year posttransplantation. Echo Doppler examination of the carotid artery was performed to assess the intimal media thickness (IMT), atheroma plaques, calcification, and stenosis. Data...
