Abstract
Background: Two dimension ultrasonografi is still be used to detect chronic kidney disease but the result is not satisfying because the image shows normal on early phase of diabetic kidney disease. Doppler ultrasound can detect the destruction of the kidney in early phase of diabetic kidney disease using renal resistive index (RI). Therefore we want to evaluate correlation between renal resistive index and e GFR (CKD-EPI) method in diabetic kidney disease. Methods: All patients with diabetic kidney disease stage 1–5 (n = 34). Patients were examined using doppler ultrasound to look for renal resistive index and e GFR using CKD-EPI method, from January to February 2015 in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta.. Statistically analyzed by Pearson's Correlation. Results: The mean Age of the patients was 55,8. The mean RI in stage 1 was 0,65, stage 2 was 0,64, stage 3 was 0,72, stage 4 was 0,78 and stage 5 was 0,8. The correlation between RI and e GFR (CKD-EPI) in diabetic kidney disease, r = −0,84 with p = 0,000 Conclusions: There is a strong correlation between RI and e GFR (CKD –EPI) in diabetic kidney disease
