Abnormal intrarenal flow In a seven‐year old female Tibetan terrier with Addison's disease was demonstrated by duplex Doppler examination. Abnormal flow may reflect renal vasoconstriction due to increased activity of the renin‐anglotensln system. Although not pathognomonic, an Increased resistive Index (< 0 ‐ 70) In an otherwise ultrasonographically normal kidney can be due to Addison's disease and the technique may prove valuable as a quick non‐Invasive tool In the management of this disease.
