The place of ultrasound in renal medicine Gheissari ASaudi J Kidney Dis Transpl 2006[Dec]; 17 (4): 540-8Today, ultrasound is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools, the reasons being that it is non-invasive, reliable, widely available, and affordable. In this paper, we review the place of ultrasound in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with kidney diseases. We briefly discuss a wide range of kidney diseases for which ultrasound imaging is still performed as one of the initial steps of diagnosis. To achieve this, five following categories are addressed: congenital anomalies of the kidney; renal cystic diseases; renal infections; kidney stones; and kidney tumors. The sonographic findings of these diseases are discussed.|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Diseases/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Kidney Neoplasms/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Kidney/*abnormalities/anatomy & histology/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Polycystic Kidney, Autosomal Dominant/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Pyelonephritis/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Ultrasonography/*trends[MESH]|Urologic Diseases/*diagnostic imaging[MESH] |
