Aim of the Study: To study resistivity Index of Renal Vasculature in Patients with Cirrhosis of Liver in A Tertiary Care Centre. Material & Methods: A total of 92 patients in which there were 75 cases which included cirrhosis with ascites, cirrhosis without ascites and 17 controls which included fatty liver and healthy individuals formed the study group. Results: The study group is a total of 92 patients, 49 were cirrhosis with ascites patients, 26 were cirrhosis without ascites patients, 17 healthy which includes fatty liver. In our study, Resistivity index is increased in both cirrhosis with ascites and without ascites. So early phase itself shows increased Resistivity Index. Resistivity Index was significantly higher in ascitic patients compared to non-ascitic patients (0.74 vs. 0.67, p<0.01) and in non-ascitic patients with liver cirrhosis than in control subjects (0.67 vs. 0.62, p<0.01). In our study Resistivity Index was significantly higher in ascitic patients compared to non-ascitic patients (0.87 vs. 0.76, p<0.01) and in non-ascitic patients with liver cirrhosis than in control subjects (0.76 vs. 0.64, p<0.001). Conclusion: Renal vasoconstriction evaluated by these indices is correlated with Child score which quantitatively measures the hepatic function in cirrhosis. The diagnosis of elevated Resistivity Index may be taken into account in the clinical management of these patients.
