Resistive index (RI) could provide more useful diagnostic and prognostic information for kidney disease than parenchymal thickness (PT) only. The aims of this study were to find the association between PT, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and RI and their determination of renal function. B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography and standard biochemical laboratory testing (urea and creatinine) were performed among 75 participants (57.1 ± 10.6 years). We measured PT and RI and calculated GFR. The mean and standard deviation were 0.671 ± 0.041, 12.24 ± 1.98 mm, and 86.38 ± 15.96 mL/min/1.73 m2 for RI, PT, and GFR, respectively. The mean RI in two subgroups with PT smaller or greater than 12.5 mm was RI1 = 0.692 ± 0.038 or RI2 = 0.648 ± 0.03 (P |
