Q

what is the mechanism for hypertension

A

Renin (when kidney parenchyma perfusion is suboptimal- renin production is increased
Renin stimulates angiotensinogen to be converted into angiotensin which causes increase in systemic HTN

Q

Describe the teq for RA interpretation

A

celiac artery and SMA velocity data

obtain aorta PSV near SMA level

turn trans- find renal arteries

image the kids and measure them + survey for cortex thinning and abnormal findings

Obtain PSV and EDV bilaterally @
renal artery :P, M, D

Upper/ Lower pole of the kidney in segmental arteries

OBSERVE FOR SECONDARY RENAL ARTERIES

25
what ratio's are used to interpret renal artery study
EDR end diastolic ratio (parenchymal reisitance ratio) & Resistivity Index
26
what is the resistivity index formula
PSV - EDV ////////////// PSV
27
Normal velocity for RI of renal artery or parenchymal vessels
28
what is parenchymal resistance ratio
EDV ///////////////////////// PSV
29
what is normal parenchymal resistance ratio value
>.2 anything below that is abnormal
30
what is considered abnormal AT time for renal waveform indicating >60% stenosis somewhere along the vessel
>100 m/sec
31
what is normal value of renal doppler AT time ?
70 m/sec
32
mesenteric artery patient history
dull achy or crampy abdominal pain 15-30 minutes after meals mesenteric angina
33
explain technique for mesenteric study
``` Obtain PSV and EDV on following areas celiac artery SMA : P,M, D IMA AORTA ```
34
what is the "food challenge test"
Pt ingest high caloric meal (document how much was consumed) exam is repeated 20-30 minutes after or sooner with symptoms (document when sx started or duration of time between ingestion and beginning the exam) PSV and EDV measurements obtained at areas of fasting test (hyperemic response begins after about 10 -30min after eatin
35
Doppler characteristics and velocities: | SMA
``` High resistance (pre-prandial) converts to lower resistance post prandal ``` normal 110-177 cm/sec abnormal PSV >275 = >70% stenosis
36
Doppler characteristics and velocities: | CA
unaffected by eating can be taken in TRV Normal velocities 50-160 cm/sec >70% stenosis = PSV >200cm/sec
37
what predicts distal mesenteric disease?
high resistant waveform persists after eating
38
name the two collaterals that exist between the sma and the ima
marginal artery of drummond | arc of riolan
39
what is criteria for chronic mesenteric ischemia
2-3 mesenteric vessels have problems
40
what is celiac band syndrome
extrinsic compression via the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm reversible CA stenosis expiration- breath out = stenosis inhilation-breath in = normal flow
41
what is clinical indication for celiac band syndrome
bruie | or can be asymptomatic
42
what might indicate acute rejection of renal transplant regarding doppler ?
increased arterial resistance
43
Ao iliac Doppler purpose
