Abstract
To investigate whether a correlation was found with various clinical stages of the disease and sonographic findings by using Duplex Doppler Ultrasound. To assess whether increased renal vascular resistance in asymptomatic patients correlated with mild renal functional impairment. It is well known that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is expanding its territory all over the world with no realms. The additional fact that increased toll of mortality due to cardiovascular diseases and end-stage renal diseases which has been profoundly correlated with the most prevalent disease condition is also encroaching an alarming state. In numbers, there were an estimated 422 million adults who were diagnosed with diabetes in the year 2014. Overall, none of the patients had acquired cystic kidney disease. In this study it was found that most of type 2 diabetic patients with Chronic Renal Failure had "small kidneys".
