Thirty-five patients with normal renal allografts as well as 10 healthy volunteers with normal native kidneys were examined by duplex sonography. Blood flow measurements were performed in the main renal artery as well as in segmental, interlobar and arcuate arteries. In both groups the normal range of variation in blood flow was defined by using the resistive index (RI). Doppler wave forms and RI of main renal arteries were both similar to those of their branches. In renal allografts as well as in native kidneys the blood flow pattern showed a rapid up-slope in systole followed by a gradual down-slope in early diastole, with a persistent flow throughout diastole. In addition, there was no significant difference in the RI between allografted and native kidneys. The interobserver variability was less than 10 per cent. The mean RI was 0.68 using all data points. Vascular rejection in 11 patients could be discriminated significantly (p<0.001). Duplex sonography is useful in evaluating renal blood flow. This simple and non-invasive technique seems to be useful in long-term follow-up of renal allograft recipients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine blood flow volume (BFV) in the normal state and its features in patients with acute posterior circulation ischemic strokes (PCIS) and vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) using color duplex sonography (DS).Methods: The study included DS data from 96 patients with verified PCIS (66 men and 30 women, aged 64±13 years) and 29 adults with VBI (17 men and 12 women, aged 66±11 years). The control group consisted of 65 healthy male volunteers of different ages.Results: In asymptomatic healthy volunteers, there was a significant decrease in BFV in the internal carotid artery (ICA) with age (502 ml/min in young people, 465 ml/min in the older subgroup) with rS = −0.24 ( p = 0.05), and the aggregated BFV in the vertebral arteries (VAs) turned out to be almost constant (141–143 ml/min). In patients with VBI, the aggregated BFV in the VAs (144 ml/min) did not differ from that in healthy volunteers, but the BFV values in the ICAs were significantly lower (325 ml/min). In patients with PCIS, the aggregated BFV in the ICAs was also significantly lower (399 ml/min) than in the control group but did not significantly differ from that in patients with VBI. In patients with PCIS, there was a significant decrease in the aggregated BFV in the VAs (105 ml/min), which distinguished this group from other examined patients.Conclusions: A significant decrease the BFV in the VA was observed only in patients with PCIS and was associated with the presence of steno-occlusive diseases (SOD) more often in the left VA. Patients with VBI had the most pronounced decrease in BFV in the ICA.

A case of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) in a 41-year-woman with 19 years remission of multiple sclerosisis presented.She had complaints of acute unilateral loss of vision and underwent complex clinical and instrumental examination including B-scan of orbit, color duplex sonography (CDS) of orbital vessels and brachiocephalic arteries, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The significant stenosis of internal carotid artery due to its dissection was detected on the affected eye side. The results of ultrasound examinations and MRI excluded demyelinative retrobulbar neuritis (RBN) and determined the signs of blood flow impairment in vessels of orbital part of the optic nerve. Differential diagnostics of PION and RBN required the investigations of blood flow in orbital vessels and brachiocephalic arteries. Key words: posterior ischemic optic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, retrobulbar neuritis, color duplex sonography, internal carotid artery.
