COBENAS, R. et al. Utilidad de la relación aclaramiento de creatinina-índice de resistencia de la ecografía Doppler renal como predictor de rechazo agudo en riñones trasplantados. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2016, vol.80, n.2, pp.83-91. ISSN 1852-9992.
Objective: To determine the usefulness of the association between the resistance index (RI) values in renal arcuate arteries and creatinine clearance (Cr Cl) levels in order to predict or detect acute rejection in a kidney transplant patient. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted on a cohort of 87 patients who were subjected to a kidney biopsy due to clinical changes in renal function. The RI was measured, and Cr Cl levels determined using the modification of diet in renal disease formula. Results: The sensitivity of an RI association higher than 0.7 and a Cr Cl 0-30 was 53.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.3-71.7%), with a specificity of 98.2% (95% CI: 90.4-100%). The area under the curve was 0.758 (95% CI: 0.665-0.85), the positive and negative likelihood ratio was 22.9 (95% CI: 4.16-214) and 0.475 (95% CI: 0.324-0.685), respectively. The odds ratio was 62.9, and the positive and negative predicted value was 94.1% (95% CI: 71.3-99.9%) and 79.1% (95% CI: 68.3-88.4%), respectively. Conclusion: The RI association higher than 0.7- Cr Cl 0-30 showed to be useful to detect the possibility of acute renal rejection, with its good specificity (98.2%), although with a low sensitivity (53%).
