Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Initial wild enthusiasm for the use of Doppler ultrasound in renal disease, particularly in renal transplants, led to claims that Doppler would enable diagnosis of various abnormalities without recourse to more invasive techniques. These claims have not been borne out by a more reasoned and scientific assessment of the role of Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of native and transplant kidney dysfunction. With the realization that changes in the Doppler findings merely reflect changes in renal blood flow induced by a variety of pathological processes has come a better understanding of how Doppler may be of benefit in the diagnosis and monitoring of these processes. The combination of duplex Doppler and color flow mapping with conventional B-mode ultrasound allows acquisition of both physiological and morphological information entirely noninvasively. Doppler ultrasound may not quite be "the answer to a maiden's prayer" in the evaluation of kidney disease but nevertheless represents a very useful tool in the nephrologist's investigative armamentarium, a tool which may be used repeatedly without detriment or risk to the patient. © 1995 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
