Evaluation of Intrarenal Blood Flow by Doppler Ultrasonography Immediately after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy on Hydronephrotic Kidney

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is an effective and relatively noninvasive mode of treatment for urinary calculi. The aim of this study was to test whether therapeutic ESWL induces changes in renal parenchymatous blood flow and to evaluate shock wave side effects on the renal parenchyma...
