Renal resistive index by transesophageal and transparietal echo-doppler imaging for the prediction of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major heart surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing MHS, increased echo-Doppler ultrasound-derived RRI at end-surgery is significantly associated with the risk of AKI, but has limited practical utility for identifying the patients who will develop AKI.
