The evaluation of renal allografts has progressed little over the past 20 years. The serum creatinine level and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remain the basis of renal-allograft assessment; other methods, such as protocol-driven biopsies and molecular profiling, are not yet widely used. The intrarenal resistive index is a noninvasive ultrasound-based method to assess vascular resistance and compliance (elasticity) and has been reported to be useful in the assessment of renal-allograft function and the prediction of allograft and patient survival.1–5 It was initially thought that the intrarenal resistive index was solely dependent on vascular resistance. However, renal vascular compliance also . . .
