Popis: In recent decades, there has been considerable effort in investigating the clinical utility of renal Doppler measurements in both cardiovascular and renal disorders. In particular, a measure of renal arterial resistance, the renal resistive index (RRI), has been demonstrated to predict chronic kidney disease progression and acute kidney injury in different clinical settings. Furthermore, it is linked to a poorer prognosis in individuals suffering from chronic heart failure. Examining the renal venous flow through pulsed Doppler can offer additional insights into renal congestion and cardiovascular outcomes for these patients. This review seeks to summarize the existing data concerning the clinical significance of arterial and venous renal Doppler measurements across various cardiovascular and renal disease contexts.
