GFR and RPF were reported in ml/min/1.73m2.

2

Filtration Fraction (FF)=GFR/RPF.

Two repeated measurements were taken from each renal artery; renal resistive index of each artery was reported as the mean value of these two measurements. Final resistive index was reported as the mean value of the mean resistive indices of the upper, mid and lower segmental, interlobar and arcuate arteries.
