Renal artery disease can cause both hypertension and renal failure, and color Doppler sonography (CDS) may be a good screening method to detect it. Presently reported techniques of Doppler sonography have either a high rate of technical failure (4-42%), or low sensitivity and specificity, or detect only stenoses greater than 70%, or exclude patients with renal failure from analysis. In previous studies Doppler detection of renal artery stenosis (RAS) was based either on increased intrastenotic velocity or on the detection of post-stenotic Doppler phenomena. In the present prospective study these two approaches were combined to detect RAS (> or = 50% diameter reduction) in 226 consecutive patients (144 with normal and 82 with impaired renal function).
