What two vessels does the left renal vein course between? the SMA and aorta
What should the resistive index be below to be considered a normal direct renal study? <0.75

What is the criteria of a normal indirect waveform? presence of an early systolic peak, acceleration time <0.07 seconds, presence of diastolic flow, resistive index <0.75
Is renal fibromuscular dysplasia more common in women or men? women
True or false. When evaluating a renal transplant, it's important to look for arterial kinks, stenosis, and organ rejection. true
A tardus parvus waveform seen in the mid segmental artery indicates a stenosis _________ to that area, possibly in the main renal artery. proximal
