Pulsed Doppler of renal veins Right renal vein
Resembles pulsed Doppler of IVC
Triphasic waveform
Left renal vein
Little modulation
Wall artifact due to systolic peak

Limits in visualization of main renal arteries
• Obesity• Overlying bowel gas• Dyspnea• Shadowing from arterial calcifications• Cardiac arrhythmias• Poor angle of Doppler insonation• Accessory renal arteries (small size)
Expert sonographers detect 80 – 90% of main RA
CEUS improves success rate to 95%

Angle of insonationDifficulty in case of tortuous or curved renal artery
Correct angle Incorrect angle

Adjustment of Doppler controlLow flow settings
• Lowest pulse repetition frequency without aliasing
• Small color box• Greatest gain without background noise• Lowest wall filter• High color priority

Normal kidneyPower Doppler
• Increases sensitivity to low flow
• Less angle-dependent
• Good visualization of the entire renal vascular tree

Normal pulse Doppler waveformRenal segmental artery
• Sharp systolic upstroke
• Low resistance waveform
• Continuous forward diastolic flow

Early systolic notch
Some normal waveforms have early systolic notch
Measuring to point of PSV results in prolonged AT & AIExcellent negative predictive value of stenosis > 60%
