About this trial

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).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients age >18 years.

Both sexes.

Patients within 24 hours after intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

Disqualifiers

Patients presented with poor abdominal echogenicity.

Chronic kidney disease, especially with estimated creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min/1.73m.

Patients with dialysis dependency.

Patients with renal transplantation.

Trial population

One hundred patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), all the studied populations will be diagnosed to have AKI, with no past medical history of chronic renal disease.
