Abstract Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) occurs due to angiopathy of glomerular capillaries, which alters the compliance and resistance of the vessel wall. This can be measured with the renal resistive index (RI) using renal Doppler, indicating disease progression. Aims and Objectives: This st...
