Q

what’s worse in RCC, renal vein invasion vs adrenal involvement?

Q

Hyperechoic lesion in kidney on US. Next step?

A

if they ask next step –> choose contrast enhanced cross sectional imaging (CT or MRI). This finding could be either AML or RCC so have to rule it out with more imaging. BUT!!….if you are forced to choose what it most likely is…go with AML

Q

why do infants with ARPKD die?

A
