Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) aids in diagnosing kidney lesions in patients with chronic renal failure. This technique helped identify a renal cell carcinoma in a patient with kidney disease, avoiding contrast risks.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) is common in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF).
  • Evaluating complex renal cysts in ACKD poses diagnostic challenges, especially with contrast agent risks.

Observation:

  • A hypoechoic renal lesion was detected via conventional B-mode sonography.
  • Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) revealed intralesional enhancement in the arterial phase of the lesion.

Findings:

  • CEUS successfully differentiated a complex renal cyst from a potential renal tumor.
  • Histopathology confirmed the lesion as renal cell carcinoma.

Implications:

  • CEUS offers a safe and effective tool for diagnosing kidney lesions in CRF patients.
