Ultrasound
⚫ Available

imaging technique to a bedside test &
clinical examination supplement
⚫ Ultrasound is the principal imaging modality
for visualization of the kidneys & urinary
tract

Role of US
⚫ Confirm normal anatomical position of kidneys
⚫ Exclude structural anomalies.
⚫ Assess size of the kidneys and collecting systems
⚫ Exclude renal cortical scarring.
⚫ Exclude renal or suprarenal masses (cystic or
solid)
⚫ Assess bladder filling and emptying
![Page 10: Kidney & Urinary Tract Ultrasound & Urinary Tract US... · Large cysts are present in both kidneys . Congenital hepatic fibrosis is rare By ultrasound Bilateral enlarged echogenic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b4dcec7ec2a4dcb04f342/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Common Neonatal & Pediatric Pathology
⚫ Fusion Anomalies. (horseshoe, ectopia, cross-fusion)
⚫ Hypoplasia or agenesis.
⚫ Duplication anomalies. (supernumerary or variants of the collecting system and uterers)
⚫ Congenital structural disease (Juveline PCKD, MCDK, dysplasia)
⚫ Solid tumours
![Page 11: Kidney & Urinary Tract Ultrasound & Urinary Tract US... · Large cysts are present in both kidneys . Congenital hepatic fibrosis is rare By ultrasound Bilateral enlarged echogenic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b4dcec7ec2a4dcb04f342/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Limitations
Co-operation is the biggest challenge with any
pediatric study.
⚫ If scanning a neonate, try to time the scan after a
feed for best compliance.
⚫ Full bladder if cooperative, bladder 1st (before
void) if not.
⚫ Use WARM gel
Ultrasound CANNOT exclude vesico-ureteric reflux.

Equipment & position
⚫ 5+MHz curvilinear probe– 3.5 MHz for larger adolescents

– May use contra-lateral with caregiver support, posterolateral imaging, for kidneys
– Prone (if gases preclude visualization)

Features
The renal cortex in patients older than 6 monthsof age is nearly always hypoechoic relative tothe adjacent liver or spleen .
The normal medullary pyramids are (minimally)hypoechoic. The identification of thesepyramids is easier with hydration of the patientand diuresis.
The renal sinus appears as a central echogenicarea. (may be minimal-decreased vs adult)
The renal pelvis, when visible, should be 10mm or less in AP diameter.
![Page 20: Kidney & Urinary Tract Ultrasound & Urinary Tract US... · Large cysts are present in both kidneys . Congenital hepatic fibrosis is rare By ultrasound Bilateral enlarged echogenic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b4dcec7ec2a4dcb04f342/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neonatal kidney; 3 features
1. Echogenicity ( no of glomeruli ).
2. Prominent hypoechoic renal pyramids
(larger medullary volumes, ↓↓ CM diff).
Don’t misinterpret as dilated collecting
system
3. Renal sinus echogenicity (paucity
of echogenic pelvic/ medullary fat)

Cortical scar
KEYPOINTS:
Scar- linear echogenic line from the
cortical edge in towards a pyramid
![Page 30: Kidney & Urinary Tract Ultrasound & Urinary Tract US... · Large cysts are present in both kidneys . Congenital hepatic fibrosis is rare By ultrasound Bilateral enlarged echogenic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b4dcec7ec2a4dcb04f342/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
⚫ In both the neonatal and paediatric kidney,
the foetal cortical lobulations are
pronounced and should span the pyramids
⚫ If a lobulation dips into a pyramid, it is
likely to be a cortical scar

Therefore …
⚫ Ultrasound is the principal imaging modality for visualization of the kidneys & urinary tract
• Clinical examination & diagnostic tests are increasingly being integrated
Remember ABG, CBG, dipstick, POC-testing, CXR, ….
⚫ A basic ultrasound examination can add a lot to a nephrology assessment
And can guide further imaging/ investigation if needed
