Noninvasive characterization of renal artery blood flow variables in the human was not previously reported. Using a unique dual-frequency real-time 2-dimensional echo Doppler (Duplex scanner) that was calibrated in vitro, renal artery blood flow patterns were calculated in 16 normal subjects (6 females). Calculated mean values of systolic diameter (Ds), maximal spatial average blood velocity (Vmsa) and volume flow rate (.ovrhdot.Q) were as follows: 4.5 .+-. 0.6 mm right, 4.4 .+-. 0.6 mm left; 67.6 .+-. 9.4 cm .cntdot. s-1 right, 69.6 .+-. 12.0 cm .cntdot. s-1 left; and 403 .+-. 127 ml .cntdot. min-1 right, 395 .+-. 98 ml .cntdot. min-1 left, respectively. Direct linear regression correlation of body surface area (BSA) with Ds and .ovrhdot.Q were statistically significant (P < 0.01, r = 0.70; and P < 0.01, r = 0.72, respectively). In a blind prospective series, 6 of 7 angiographically normal renal arteries were noninvasively identified by normal geometry and blood velocity patterns. One angiographically normal artery was incorrectly classified as mildly stenotic. Eleven angiographically documented abnormal renal arteries were noninvasively identified by their abnormal blood flow patterns and/or geometry. Apparently, dual-frequency Duplex scanning with careful sample volume control and Doppler audio spectra/blood velocity waveform analysis can be used to characterize blood flow variables in normal and diseased human renal arteries.
