Resistive and pulsatility index of renal artery and aorta of dogs.
| Variable | Control (n = 20) | PDH (n = 20) |
|---|---|---|
| Aorta RI | 0.92 ± 0.04 | 0.91 ± 0.07 |
| Aorta PI | 3.13 ± 0.64 | 2.87 ± 0.50 |
| Renal RI | 0.65 ± 0.03 | 0.69 ± 0.06∗ |
| Renal PI | 1.20 ± 0.12 | 1.39 ± 0.27∗ |
| Increased renal RI (%) | 1/20 (5%) | 10/20 (50%)∗ |
| Increased renal PI (%) | 0/20 (0%) | 7/20 (35%)∗ |
Data are presented as mean ± SD or n (%). PDH, pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism; PI, pulsatility index; RI, resistive index.
∗ P < 0.05 relative to control.
