Renal Flashcards
IVU “ iodine”
Nephrogram =
Pyelogram =
Cortex & medulla
Pelvicalyceal system
KUB shows
Opacified mass at area occupied ureter
We can confirm ureteric stone by :
IVU
Which can show
Ureteric stone , hydroureter , hydronephrosis
IVU
Shows copra head sign
Describe:
Dx:
This condition may be associated with :
Dilation at the distal end of the ureter
Ureterocele
Duplex collecting system
We see that left kidney crossed to the RT side by IVU
This is called :
Crossed renal ectopia
IVU
PUJ obstruction
Describe :
Most common in :
Dilated pelvicalcyceal system & cubbing with abrupt diameter
More common in male ; functional obstruction present at any age.
Uss
PUJ obstruction
Describe :
Dilated pelvis with communicating calyces.
Abrupt diameter
Hydronephrosis due to PUJ obstruction
Uss
Dilated communicating calyces
Can be
-
-
Hydronephrosis
PUJ obstruction “ abrupt diameter “
How could you know renal pelvis obstruction by CT
CT axial abdomen with IV contrast
Rt side : dilated pelvis with reduced cortical enhancement
Left side : delayed pyelogram
( RT renal pelvis obstruction )
Staghorn stone in kidney
Describe by KUB :
Bilateral radiopaque stone occupying pelvicalcyceal system
Staghorn stone
Uss kidney
Describe :
Hyperechoic stone occupying the pelvicalyceal system with large posterior acoustic shadow.
Kidney stone
By CT
Describe :
CT axial abdomen without IV contrast
Hyperdense mass occupy the pelvicalyceal system
Nephrocalcinosis
By KUB
Describe
Punctate calcification occupying the renal parenchyma
“ indicate Hypercalcemial”
Same as in CT
Does nephrocalcinosis have posterior acoustic shadows ?
No posterior acoustic shadow
Punctate hyperechoic lesions occupying the renal parenchyma
Without posterior acoustic shadow
Multiple kidney stones
Uss
Describe :
Multiple hyperechoic stones with posterior acoustic shadow
Kidney stone complicated with hydronephrosis
( obstructive renal stone with hydronephrosis )
Uss :
Hyperechoic mass with posterior acoustic shadow occupy the renal pelvis , & multiple communicating dilated calyces
