Renal Ultrasound/ Renal artery Ultrasound

Name:


Exam date:


Comparison:


Indication:


Technique:
Multiple sonographic images of the kidneys and bladder were assessed for gray scale appearance and color doppler flow.


Findings:
The right kidney measures ____cm in length (10-13 is normal in adults) with a cortical thickness of ____cm (> 1 is normal). It is normal in echotexture and demonstrates no evidence of hydronephrosis. The peak systolic velocity is ____m/sec (< 1.8 is normal) and the renal artery to aortic ratio is ____ (< 3 is normal).

The left kidney measures ____cm in length with a cortical thickness of ____cm. It is normal in echotexture and demonstrate no evidence of hydronephrosis. The peak systolic velocity is ____cm/sec and the renal artery to aortic ratio is ____.

The bladder is normal in appearance and its wall measures ____mm (< 3 is normal). The pre-void bladder volume is ____cc and the post-void residual volume is ____cc (< 100 is normal).


Impression:
1. Normal renal ultrasound.
2. Low probability of renal artery stenosis (or, elevated renal artery to aortic ratio may represent renal artery stenosis recommend clinical correlation).
