Novel non-invasive and quantitative assessment of the renal function of transplanted kidneys using Doppler ultrasonography with the vascular index of superb microvascular imaging
The VI measured by drawing a region of interest along the border of the transplanted kidney in SMI (VIF2) is highly reproducible and correlates well with eGFR. Both VIF2 and ACR independently predict eGFR.
