Ultrasonographic Intraparenchymal Renal Resistive Index Variation for Assessing Renal Functional Reserve in Patients Scheduled for Cardiac Surgery: A Pilot Study

Conclusion: This pilot study suggests that a positive IRRIV test can significantly predict the presence of RFR in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. RFR measured by the protein loading test or by the US IRRIV test can predict the occurrence of subclinical postoperative AKI. The findings of this study need to be confirmed in large patient cohorts.Blood Purif
