Relationship between the intrarenal resistive index and split renal function in patients with solitary kidneys.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The intrarenal resistive index (RI) is a reliable and well-established indicator for predicting total renal function in patients with two kidneys. However, it is not yet known whether the ultrasound (US) parameters, including the intrarenal RI, can be used to predict split renal function in solitary kidneys. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between US parameters, such as the RI and split renal function, in patients with solitary kidneys.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted of patients suspected of having solitary kidneys. From January 2004 to December 2023, the data of 78 patients who underwent US examinations for this condition at our hospital were reviewed. Renal function was evaluated using the estimated glomerular filtra
