| Abstract | ||
| This study was investigated a physiological and radiological changes in patients with renal colic. One hundred thirty one patients who complained of renal colic and attended to Al-Hilla Teaching Hospital from the period November /2011 to June/2012 were enrolled in this study. Radiological investigations in form of CT scan , X- ray (KUP) , Ultrasonography , Doppler Ultrasound and IVU were done. Patients were found to be 71 out of131(54.2%) where suffered from ureteric stone Assessment of the mean resistive index values of renal vessels were found to be of statistical difference in the obstructed(hydronephrotic) kidneys in comparison to the unobstructed contralateral normal kidney with significant difference between them ( P value < 0.05). Resistive index was found to be a dependable parameter in the detection the complete from the partial ureteric obstruction . Also, it had been found that the Resistive index was not affected by site of ureteric stone and in relation to time of presentation of renal colic. | ||
