Role Of Ultrasonography In Evaluation Of Patients With Renal Failure

Abstract :

Introduction: Kidney failure do not cause specific symptoms which leads to their delayed diagnoses, resulting in patients admitted only with elevation in serum urea and creatinine. Ultrasonography of the kidneys is essential in the diagnosis and management of kidney-related diseases. Materials and methods: Patients were subjected to USG Whole Abdomen on GE LOGIQ F8 EXPERT and GE VOLUSON S8 sonography machines. Proper setting of the overall gain system gain and TGC/DGC was adjusted to optimally visualize each kidney.Results: combined gray scale and color doppler has higher sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV rather than just gray scale or color doppler USG in isolation.Conclusion: USG plays a great role in evaluation of patients with ARF and CKD. Duplex color doppler plays a major role as it can detect damage to renal parenchymal vascular resistance.
