ULTRASOUND OF KIDNEYS

CLINICAL INDICATION: A 64-year-old female with right kidney disease due to diabetic nephropathy.
 
COMPARISON: None.
 
TECHNIQUE: Transverse and longitudinal grayscale images of the kidneys were obtained.
 
FINDINGS: Limited exam due to patient's body habitus.  The right kidney measures 9.2 x 4.2 x 5.6 cm.  The left kidney measures 10.2 x 5.5 x 5.1 cm.  Both kidneys demonstrate cortical thinning.  The kidneys appear mildly hyperechoic, suggestive of medical renal disease and renal parenchymal disease. There is no evidence of hydronephrosis, renal stones, perinephric fluid, or renal mass.  

IMPRESSION:  Bilateral echogenic kidneys, suggestive of medical renal disease.  No hydronephrosis.
