Ultrasonic data can be used to develop relative indices of hemodynamic of the affected from nephroblastomas kidney

Purpose: Develop new indices of hemodynamic of the affected by nephroblastoma kidney. Methods: The study included 24 patients aged 1 to 7 years with diagnosis nephroblastoma in stages I-IV of disease. Preoperative chemotherapy (CT) in patients was conducted according to the protocol SIOP-WT-2001. Complex ultrasound investigation at baseline and at the end of CT all children underwent. Results: Index of specific blood flow (ISB) was calculated in the ratio of blood flow to the affected kidney in main feeding artery (L/min) to the volume of the affected organ (l): ISB = Qaff.ren/Vaff.ren. Index of cardiac fraction…
