Association between Early Resistive Index Measurement and Early Graft Function and Long-Term Graft Survival after Kidney Transplantation: an Evidence-based Clinical Review.

the results of this study emphasise the association between early measurement of RI and early graft function, and long-term graft survival. An elevated RI provides the chance of recognizing the patients with poor long-term prognosis, from the first moment after kidney transplant.
