Assessment of real ‐time and quantitative changes in renal hemodynamics in healthy overweight males: contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography versus para‐aminohippuric acid clearance

ConclusionsCEUS can detect acute drug ‐induced changes human renal hemodynamics. CEUS‐assessed RCMBF moderately associates with ERPF, particularly when perfusion is in normal‐to‐high range. CEUS cannot replace ERPF‐measurements, but may be a complementary tool to characterize regional kidney‐perfusion.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
