OBJECTIVE Three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) has recently become a reality because of advances in ultrasound probes and machine processing ability. We have developed an anthropomorphic phantom of the human loin to assess both the accuracy of 3DUS of the kidney and its potential usefulness for training in ultrasonographically guided percutaneous renal intervention. METHODS The model was ...

Background: According to high prevalence of renal stone in children, we evaluated the efficacy of treatment with potassium citrate and its correlation with metabolic disorders in children less than two years of age with renal stone and microlithiasis. Methods: In this cross- sectionaly study, 100 patients (less than 2 years old) with renal stone or microlitiasis were evaluated for metabolic di...

Background Chronic kidney disease is a global health concern, its detection and diagnosis in earlier stages is also a great challenge that can alleviate this burden. Kidney biopsy is important to establish histopathological patterns. But, it is invasive. We aimedto evaluate the correlation of renal resistive index (RI) measured by Doppler ultrasound with the prog...

OBJECTIVE To determine the presence of linear relationship between renal cortical thickness, bipolar length, and parenchymal thickness in chronic kidney disease patients presenting with different estimated glomerular filtration rates (GFRs) and to assess the reproducibility of these measurements using ultrasonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ultrasonography was performed in 54 chronic renal fai...

Ultrasound examination is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that is used on patients with suspected or established renal disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of intrarenal Doppler ultrasonography in the assessment of the renal pathology of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as shown by kidney biopsy. This retrospective analysis enrolled 992 consecutive patient...

The objectives of the present study were to describe the complementary use of radiography and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract disorders in dogs, and to compare ultrasonographic findings with the survey and contrast radiographic findings in the evaluation of canine upper urinary tract diseases. The study materials were composed of 22 dogs of various breed, age, and sex wi...

Source of Funding: Self Conflicts of interest: None DOI: 10.16965/ijims.2016.126 Renal replacement lipomatosis is a rare benign entity, characterized by diffuse replacement of renal parenchyma, sinus and hilum with adipose tissue resulting in renal parenchymal atrophy. Etiology may be secondary to obesity, cushing’s syndrome, corticosteroid excess or idiopathic. Renal replacement lipomatosis is...

We propose that renal consults are enhanced by incorporating a nephrology-focused ultrasound protocol including ultrasound evaluation of cardiac contractility, the presence or absence of pericardial effusion, inferior vena cava size and collapsibility to guide volume management, bladder volume to assess for obstruction or retention, and kidney size and structure to potentially gauge chronicity ...

I report a 40-year old pregnant woman presented with left lank pain during one month. Percutaneous left cyst aspiration was performed before 4 years ago. Complete blood count and serum biochemistry profiles were within normal limits. Additionally the patient was diagnosed with pregnant before two months. Ultrasonography revealed 18*15 cm cystic lesion in left kidney. Magnetic Resonance Imaging ...
