What is Renal contours?
Renal contours refer to the outline or shape of the kidneys as seen on imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans. The contours may appear smooth and regular in healthy kidneys, while irregular or abnormal contours could indicate underlying kidney disease or structural abnormalities. It is important for healthcare providers to assess renal contours as part of evaluating kidney health.
What is renal hyperechoic?
Renal hyperechoic refers to ultrasound findings where the kidneys appear brighter or more echogenic than normal. This can be indicative of various conditions such as fat infiltration, inflammation, or scarring within the kidneys. Further medical evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the renal hyperechogenicity.
What is the xray record of the renal pelvis?
The X-ray record of the renal pelvis is typically assessed through an imaging technique called an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) or a CT urography. These imaging studies allow for visualization of the renal pelvis, ureters, and bladder, highlighting any abnormalities such as obstructions, stones, or tumors. The renal pelvis appears as a funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the kidneys before it moves into the ureters. Abnormal findings may indicate various renal pathologies, necessitating further evaluation or intervention.
What causes diffuse echogenicty of renal parcheyma?
Diffuse echogenicity of the renal parenchyma can be caused by various conditions, including chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, diabetes, renal infections, and certain medications. It is often seen on ultrasound imaging as a result of changes in the tissue density or composition of the kidneys. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is usually needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
What is mild fullness in renal pelvicalyceal?
Mild fullness in the renal pelvicalyceal system typically refers to a slight dilation or enlargement of the renal pelvis and calyces, which are structures in the kidney responsible for collecting urine before it is passed down to the bladder. This finding may be seen on imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT and can be due to various causes such as urinary obstruction, infection, or inflammation. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.

Do you drink 10-12oz of fluids prior to a renal ultrasound?
yes
What is renal pelviectasis?
Renal pelviectasis is the medical term meaning abnormal dilation of the renal pelvis. This condition is often a sign of blockage in the urinary system.
What is Renal contours?
Renal contours refer to the outline or shape of the kidneys as seen on imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT scans. The contours may appear smooth and regular in healthy kidneys, while irregular or abnormal contours could indicate underlying kidney disease or structural abnormalities. It is important for healthcare providers to assess renal contours as part of evaluating kidney health.
Why cant you eat or drink for renal ultrasound?
For a renal ultrasound, fasting for several hours prior to the procedure is often required to ensure optimal imaging. Eating or drinking can lead to gas or bloating in the stomach, which may obscure the ultrasound waves and hinder the clarity of the images of the kidneys. Additionally, a full bladder is typically necessary for certain ultrasound techniques, and fasting helps facilitate this condition.
Does a renal ultrasound hurt or cause pain?
Ultra-sounds are completely harmless, you will not feel a thing.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal collection of urine in the kidney?
