INTRA RENAL RESISTANCE INDEX FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF EARLY RENAL FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS

Dr. Ramana Macherla, Dr. Kishan

Abstract


BACKGROUND
To know the intra-renal resistive index profile in patients with
liver cirrhosis. To compare the intra renal resistive index
among cirrhosis with and without ascites patients. To know the
correlation between intra-renal resistive index with MELD
score and Child-Turcotte-Pugh, score. Cirrhotic patients
admitted to the Medical Gastroenterology unit at Osmania
Hospital, in Hyderabad, from January 2017 to December 2018.
Intra Renal resistance index was higher in the presence of
cirrhosis, much higher if ascites associated with varices, and
hepatic encephalopathy. Making renal resistance index as
severity dependent prognostic factor.


Keywords


Renal Function, Renal Resistive Index, Child Turcotte Pugh's
