normal kidney measurements
Increased cortical echogenicity on an ultrasound of the kidney usually indicates a medical condition affecting the kidneys, such as acute or chronic kidney disease. It may suggest scarring, inflammation, or changes in the tissue density within the kidney's cortex. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is usually required to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
cortical thickness is a brain morphometric measure used to describe the combined thickness of the layers of the cerebral cortex in mammalian brains,
It simply means the kidney surface or cortex appeared abnormal - you will need a kidney biopsy to see what this actually means.
i think it has somthing to do with the ovaries but im not totally sure. i have a few ultrasounds with sag on it.
A cortical defect is an abnormality in the outer shell.
If it is a simple cyst, probably not. There are characteristics that would make it concerning and that are often graded using something called the Bosniak scale.
I have lupus and about 7 other immune disorders. My filtration rate is at about 35 (non black) and my cretinine is now at 1.25 about. My renal ultra sound came back with "increased echogenicity". What does that mean? Thanks Sharon
A cystic foci, or cystic focus, is when an ultrasound identifies a finding that is cystic-like. It mean there's a tiny collection of fluid wherever the cystic focus was found.
The normal size of each kidney in a young adult male is typically around 10-12 cm in length, 5-7 cm in width, and 3-4 cm in thickness. However, sizes can vary among individuals, and other factors such as body size and genetics can influence kidney size as well.
A cortical breakthrough means that the cortex, which is a hard outer covering, does not appear continuous. It could also indicate a semi-healed injury.
