Overview

Renal and abdominal doppler ultrasound may be required to investigate for renal etiologies and complications of disease, such as renal vein thrombosis. Kidney size and signs of obstruction during assessment are also important. Doppler ultrasound of the extremities is indicated if patients with nephrotic syndrome present with suspected deep vein thrombosis.
