Captopril renography. Early observations and diagnostic criteria.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The renal resistive index (RI) measured using Doppler ultrasonography has been used as a diagnostic tool in the daily work-up of kidney diseases. A better understanding of its relationship with preclinical organ damage may help in determining overall cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients. METHODS:We ...
