Reason: evaluate for obstruction, AKi, needs to be done at bedside RIGHT KIDNEY: The right kidney measures 8.8 cm in length. Markedly increased renal parenchymal echogenicity. Minimal to mild hydronephrosis without evidence of obstructive lesion. Anechoic simple cyst in the right lower pole measures 1.4 x 1.1 x 1.4 cm. The right ureter is not visualized. No shadowing calculi.LEFT KIDNEY: The left kidney measures 8.5 cm in length. Markedly increased renal parenchymal echogenicity. No hydronephrosis or shadowing calculi.OTHER: The urinary bladder is decompressed by Foley catheter, precluding its evaluation. Ureteral jets not visualized.
1. Minimal to mild right hydronephrosis without evidence of obstruction.2. Markedly increased renal parenchymal echogenicity, consistent with medical renal disease.
