Resistance index (RI) measured by Doppler sonography during the early post-transplant period reflects interstitial oedema within the transplanted kidney. We have prospectively analysed the relationship between RI measured shortly after kidney transplantation (KTx), patient and graft survival, as well as kidney graft function during a 5-year follow-up.
