Title: Renal Resistive Index: Not Only for Kidney Clinics Cord-id: 635d7n6a Document date: 2021_1_1
ID: 635d7n6a
Snippet: Renal Resistive Index (RRI) is a measurement of the resistance of the renal blood flow. A value higher than 0.70 is a marker of increased resistance and is correlated with kidney injury and its severity. Additionally, it may be associated with the mortality rate in the post-surgery population. In COVID-19 subjects, we found that high RRI has been associated with high levels of serum C-reactive protein, a marker of systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome. Finally, we propose RRI not only as a mar

A value higher than 0.70 is a marker of increased resistance and is correlated with kidney injury and its severity.

In COVID-19 subjects, we found that high RRI has been associated with high levels of serum C-reactive protein, a marker of systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome. Finally, we propose RRI not only as a marker of kidney injury, but also as a tool to evaluate the course of critical illness.
