Abstract
Background: Exploring renal resistive index disparities between hypertensive and non-hypertensive adults for improved clinical insight.
Objective: To compare the renal resistive index in hypertensive and non-hypertensive adults.
Methods: In a comparative research with 184 participants, 87 had hypertension and the remaining 97 did not. The study was conducted at the university ultrasound clinic in Green Town using a Toshiba XARIO XG. A convex probe operating at 3-5 MHz was employed. There were all the adult patients present. This study excluded pregnant women and those with established renal disorders, such as renal artery stenosis. Version 21.0 of SPSS was used to analyze the data.
Results: The right kidney's mean resistive index in hypertension is 0.6955, while in non-hypertensive patients it is 0.5884.In hypertension kidneys, the mean resistive index is 0.6798, while in non-hypertensive kidneys, it is 0.5833.It was discovered that the resistive index was statistically significant (p=0.001) in both hypertension and non-hypertensive kidneys. Patients with and without hypertension had a substantial correlation, according to the chi-square study. Conclusions: The renal resistive index (RRI) in hypertensive adults was slightly higher compared to non-hypertensive adults, suggesting a potential association between hypertension and increased renal vascular resistance
