What Does Left Kidney Is Not Visualized In Left Renal Fossa Indicate?

My husband has just undergone the ultrasonography of Abdomen and Pelvis.

Doctor has given the following impression

Left kidney is not visualized in left renal fossa or in rest of abdomen & pelvis mean

Atrophic? Hypoplastic

Fatty liver

What does this mean? Is it very serious. Please revert.

thanks

Hello

Non visualization of left kidney during USG may be due many reasons like absent left kidney,hypoplastic/atrophic kidney.USG is not confirmatory.
It is not a serious condition.
Your husband can go for contrast CT scan of abdomen.It can confirm status of left kidney which may be present in other ectopic site.

Fatty liver is a reversible condition.He need few other investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,Lipid profile.
He should increase his physical activity.
He may need to take few medicines after proper evaluation.
He should avoid fatty and fried food. Avoid alcohol if he take these things.

Take Care
