The present observational cross sectional study entitled To assess the role of renal artery colour doppler in diabetic patients and

its correlation with biochemical parameters was carried out in department of Radiodiagnosis ,GR medical College and J A Group

of Hospitals, Gwalior from September 2015 to august 2017.

After obtaining the approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee, the study was carried out on 50 patients of either sex with

age >30 years of age.

Renal duplex doppler USG is non invasive modality to examine the intrarenal haemodynamic changes in patients of diabetic

patients. We demonstrated the presence of intrarenal haemodynamic abnormality with nephropathy, defined by the presence of

increased albuminuria and renal insufficiency.

1. In the present study,the patients ranges from 35 yrs to 75 yrs and mean age is 54.7±9.46 yrs. Maximum number of patients

were in the group 60–69 yrs of age, that is 34%.

2. In our study, female prevalence is slightly higher than male 52%Vs 48 %.

3. Resistive index increases in both among controls and diabetes patients with increasing age and also in diabetes patient in

comparison to control when standardised with age and sex matched control. RI also increases with increasing the duration of

diabetes.
