In infants experiencing shock, ultrasound revealed a distinct "elevated renal rind" sign. This finding, characterized by hyperechoic bands around the kidneys, suggests systemic inflammation rather than localized abdominal issues.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Infants experiencing shock present complex diagnostic challenges.
  • Identifying specific sonographic markers can aid in understanding underlying pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel sonographic finding in infants with shock.
  • To characterize the
  • elevated renal rind
  • sign and its clinical implications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of five infants (3 weeks to 13 months) with shock.
  • Abdominal sonography to evaluate perirenal structures.

Main Results:

  • All infants demonstrated bilateral perirenal hyperechoic bands surrounding a hypoechoic fluid rim.

  • This
  • elevated renal rind
  • sign was present during acute illness and persisted post-recovery.
  • The sign resolved in surviving infants.

    • Conclusions:

    • The
    • elevated renal rind
    • is a unique sonographic finding associated with infant shock.
    • This sign likely reflects systemic inflammatory processes, not localized intraabdominal disease.
