Overview

Duplex ultrasonography is a first line non-invasive imaging technique for the diagnosis of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.

Duplex Ultrasonography

Diagnosis by Duplex ultrasonography is considered class I recommendation. It may be used as an initial screening tool for diagnosis of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. Ultrasonography might not be very accurate in obese patients or those intestinal gas.[1]
