- Abstract:
- The aim of our study was to assess the ability of amplitude coded-colour Doppler sonography (ACDS) to depict altered perfusion in paediatric renal disease in a prospective study. Colour Doppler sonography (CDS) and ACDS examinations were performed in 180 renal units (90 patients; age range newborn to 16 years) with unilateral or bilateral renal disease (e.g. reflux nephropathy, renal scars, end-stage renal disease, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, urinary tract infection, renal failure, haemolytic uraemic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus (LE), renal biopsy, congenital dysplasia, tumour/infiltration). The ACDS results were compared with scintigraphy or CT as well as to clinical findings. Amplitude colour-coded Doppler sonography accurately demonstrated normal vasculature in 49 of 51 healthy kidneys (= 96%); 3 healthy kidneys could not be evaluated due to motion/artefacts. In 39 of 43 kidneys with focally altered perfusion ACDS could be performed and correctly depicted focally impaired vasculature/perfusion in 35 kidneys (= 89.7%). Seventy-three of 83 kidneys with diffusely impaired perfusion could be evaluated by ACDS and altered pattern was correctly depicted in 58 kidneys (= 79.4%), with an overall percentage of agreement of 87.1%. Amplitude CDS appears to be useful in infants and children. Compared with CDS it improves visualisation of especially focally impaired vasculature/perfusion and should be considered a valuable adjunct to conventional investigations.
