Doppler ultrasonography in posttransplant renal artery stenosis: a reliable tool for assessing effectiveness of revascularization?
Doppler ultrasound is a reliable, noninvasive, and easily available tool for identifying subjects who may benefit from kidney graft revascularization and to assess the effectiveness of the procedure.
Only one third of the CVD patients with elevated LDL-C received treatment intensification. Diabetic and hypertensive patients were more likely to receive treatment intensification, whereas, older patients, female patients, and patients with poor medication adherence were less likely to receive treatment intensification. Our findings highlight areas for quality improvement initiatives.
