The pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) are used as markers of peripheral vascular resistance. Recently intrarenal PI and RI were introduced for the evaluation of the severity of acute and chronic renal failure, as well as for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis and kidney graft rejection. In the present study, we evaluated intrarenal PI and RI in patients with essential hypertension.
