    Assessing Steroid Response Through Resistivity and Pulsatility Indices

    Introduction Nephrotic syndrome is a significant cause of chronic renal disease in children, often leading to long-term complications. This study evaluates resistivity and pulsatility indices in the interlobar arteries of the kidneys in pediatric nephrotic syndrome patients across different response groups. Using Doppler ultrasound, researchers analyzed how these indices correlate with steroid responsiveness, helping predict…
