Renal Doppler in hypertension

This patient had severe hypertension. 
Renal Doppler ultrasound is essential to rule out renal artery stenosis. 
Let's see 👀 what we found:
Renal arteries diameter measurements are normal:
Caliber of both renal arteries is in normal range. 6 to 7 mm width. 
Let's have a look at arterial flow in both kidneys.
The intrarenal flow appears normal. 
Now let's have a look at renal arterial spectral Doppler in both kidneys:
Both renal arteries show normal waveform. High diastolic low resistance flow confirms 👍 healthy flow through renal arteries. 
Let's have a look at the segmental arteries of both kidneys. 
Looks like healthy normal flow parameters in the segmental arteries too.
Final diagnosis: 
Normal color and spectral Doppler ultrasound of both kidneys. 
He'll need to be investigated further to find the cause of hypertension.
