[The diagnosis of the acutely congestive kidney in renal colic by the ultrasonic dopplerometry of the renal arteries].
Twenty patients free from urodynamic disturbances and 26 patients presenting with nephritic colic were studied in an ultrasound investigation into the urinary system and renal arteries. The examinees divided into the following groups: controls, patients with acutely congestive kidney, patients with calculi in the ureter without manifest obstruction, and patients with renal calculi. There were three pregnant women in the above series. Patients with acutely congestive kidney demonstrated significant elevation (P < 0.05) of PI, IR, S/D, and decrement of Vmin by comparison with controls. The results obtained with Doppler Ultrasound (DU) formed the basis for catheterization of the ureter in 1 pregnant female examinee, for endovesical ureterolithoextraction in 1 patient, with three others having had their calculi reduced to fine particles. Employment of DU to study renal arteries in patients presenting with disordered urodynamics of the upper urinary tract is helpful when choosing between therapeutic policies to be adopted, with particular emphasis being given to the management of pregnant female patients.
