Renal parenchymal disease: histopathologic-sonographic correlation.

P J Patel

    Urologia Internationalis
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Renal parenchymal disease diagnosis via ultrasound showed no correlation between specific kidney disease types and ultrasound findings. Many kidney disease cases presented with normal ultrasound results, indicating limited diagnostic utility for certain conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Renal parenchymal diseases encompass a wide range of kidney disorders.
    • Kidney ultrasound is a common non-invasive imaging modality used in evaluating renal abnormalities.
    • Accurate correlation between histological findings and ultrasound characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between specific types of histologically confirmed renal parenchymal diseases and their ultrasound findings.
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of renal ultrasound in differentiating various kidney diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 60 patients with histologically confirmed renal parenchymal disease.
    • Review of kidney ultrasound examinations performed at King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH).
    • Categorization of renal parenchymal abnormalities based on histological diagnosis.

    Main Results:

    • A variety of renal parenchymal diseases were identified, including proliferative glomerulonephritis, minimal changes, and membranous glomerulonephritis.
    • Kidney ultrasound examinations were normal in 51% of the patients.
    • No significant correlation was found between the specific type of renal disease and cortical echogenicity or corticomedullary definition on ultrasound.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal ultrasound may not reliably detect or differentiate specific types of renal parenchymal diseases.
    • A significant proportion of patients with histologically confirmed kidney disease exhibit normal ultrasound findings.
    • Further research may be needed to explore advanced imaging techniques for improved renal disease characterization.
