Many of our patients are very large(200-250 lbs)  I don't recall seeing pts
in excess of 300 lbs.  I would think that those studies would be more
difficult.
We have very good success even with our large patients.
 Positioning is key.
We book our renals for 60 minutes.  That is normally adequate time for
completing the study and compiling the data into a report.
We do 3-4 renals daily.

Hello
 I just have one question what is your success rate in patients 300lbs plus?
Does your success rate at seeing the renal artery drop? Also how long do you
spend on renal artery exams?.
Thanks  Tom
