However, there are few studies that have examined the relationship between blood pressure and intrarenal vascular resistance. Renal color Doppler ultrasonography is one method that can non-invasively evaluate intrarenal vascular resistance. In this study, we comprehensively studied the correlations between ultrasonic parameters and blood pressure indices to elucidate their relationships. In total, 162 patients with suspected CKD were enrolled for this study. Demographics, blood pressure, blood test, urine test, and renal color Doppler ultrasonography data were obtained. The ratio of diastolic to systolic blood pressure (D\/S ratio) and pulse pressure were calculated. Our results indicated strong negative correlations between the renal resistive index (RI) values in all four of the studied kidney regions and the D\/S ratio. The RI values also showed significant correlations with diastolic pressure and pulse pressure, but they were weaker. Partial correlation coefficients between pulse pressure, mean arterial pressure, D\/S ratio, and RI showed that D\/S ratio significantly correlated with RI, but pulse pressure or mean arterial pressure did not. Systolic blood pressure did not correlate with any of the studied ultrasonic values. The negative correlation between RI values and the D\/S ratio was still observed in subjects without renal dysfunction or any medications. In conclusion, D\/S ratio, rather than pulse pressure or mean arterial pressure, would be the most appropriate index to estimate\/calculate\/judge intrarenal vascular resistance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41371-019-0264-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,4]],"date-time":"2019-10-04T15:08:28Z","timestamp":1570201708000},"page":"512-519","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Ratio of diastolic to systolic blood pressure represents renal resistive index"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6728-4966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Akaishi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0633-8462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michiaki","family":"Abe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Miki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mika","family":"Miki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuharu","family":"Funamizu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sadayoshi","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3170-4660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takaaki","family":"Abe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tadashi","family":"Ishii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"264_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"863","DOI":"10.1007\/s40620-018-0531-1","volume":"31","author":"I Petrucci","year":"2018","unstructured":"Petrucci I, Clementi A, Sessa C, Torrisi I, Meola M.
