Abstract
Renal obstruction is a significant cause of renal dysfunction, and timely diagnosis and management are critical to prevent irreversible damage. The renal parenchymal thickness (RPT) and renal resistive index (RI) are two important parameters in evaluating renal function in obstructed urinary systems. This study investigates the correlation between RPT, RI, and renal function in patients with obstructed urinary systems, aiming to determine whether these parameters can serve as reliable markers for renal impairment. Results indicate a significant inverse relationship between RPT and renal function, as well as a positive correlation between RI and renal dysfunction, suggesting their potential as diagnostic and prognostic tools in clinical practice.
