Critically Ill Acute Kidney Injury, Renal Artery Duplex, Validity
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to assess the clinical relevance of renal artery duplex ultrasound in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in terms of the renal resistive index (RRI).
Detailed description
Diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is based on rising creatinine as late phenomenon. Intrarenal vasoconstriction occurs earlier, so measuring flow resistance in the renal circulation, renal resistive index (RRI), could become part of vital organ function assessment using Doppler ultrasound.
Interventions
OTHERRenal Artery Duplex
Renal artery duplex will be performed to all patients in terms of renal resistivity index (RRI).
