METHOD FOR PREDICTING NEPHROSCLEROSIS IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine, urology, nephrology, pediatrics.

SUBSTANCE: one should carry out ultrasound dopplerographic renal studying at the mode of chromatic duplex mapping along calculation of resistance index upon segmental and arched renal arteries, moreover, the above-mentioned resistance index should be calculated by the well-known formula twice - before and 2 h after single peroral intake of specific blocking agent of angiotensin II (subtype AT₁) receptors - losarthane at the dosage of 0.8 mg/kg and at unaltered values of resistance index being within 0.73-1.00 one should diagnose nephrosclerosis. The innovation enables to detect risk groups by nephrosclerotic development in case of obstructive uropathies and other forms of renal pathology, determine the tactics correctly, organize therapy and shorten the terms of patient's staying in hospital.
