Abstract

The goal of this study was to assess the value of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the early systolic rise on Doppler waveforms obtained before and after administration of captopril in patients suspected of having renal artery stenosis. Seventy-one hypertensive patients (135 kidneys) were studied with transrenal Doppler sonography. Ninety-six kidneys were studied again after administration of captopril. All patients also underwent renal angiography. All Doppler studies were independently reviewed by two observers. Specific criteria for Doppler waveform patterns that were applied in the detection of renal artery stenosis included acceleration, acceleration time of early systolic rise, differential velocity of systolic rise, and resistive index. These criteria were then correlated with angiography, and receiver operating characteristic curves were generated. On the basis of waveform pattern recognition. Doppler sonograms obtained before administration of captopril had a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 98% for the detection of renal artery stenosis greater than or equal to 50%. Sensitivity of Doppler sonography obtained after administration of captopril was 100%, and specificity was 100%. For renal artery stenosis ...Continue Reading
