My renal ultrasound results say that both kidneys are mildly echogenic. My right kidney is 11.1cm and my left is 9.5. One the left kidney there is a focal area of echogenicity which is relatively well defined which measures 20x30x15mm. My creatinine is a bit off and that is why I was sent to get an ultrasound. Kidney disease is hereditary on my mothers side.
Hello Echogenic kidneys indicate renal parenchymal disease. It may be due to many causes like chronic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis etc. You need proper clinical examination and investigations. Complete renal function should be assessed. It includes serum urea, creatinine,creatinine clearance, GFR, Serum sodium, potassium, calcium,bicarbonate, chloride,phosphate. Focal echogenicity may be due to hematoma. Generally it is a benign finding. Proper treatment depend upon findings. This condition also need routine hologram. Take Care Chat Doctor.
