What Does My Renal Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?
my son 4 month old recently got treated by UTI caused by Klebsiella oxytoca . He was running high fever of 105 and later hospitalized . He received IV antibiotics for 2 days and a oral antibiotic course for 7 days . He is now doing well . We are asked to do a repeat renal ultrasound after 5 weeks as his first ultrasound showed mild dilation in left side renal pelvis and some debris in bladder , apart from this everything is normal. I would like to understand his renal ultrasound findings and implications of the same . When we asked the pediatrician he mentioned these findings come up during UTI and go away once problem is resolved . What can i expect in his 5 week later u/s. Is this a matter of concern
Hello Dear. Whenever there will be UTI, there is mild infection of the kidneys also, which may show in the Ultra sound as dilatation of the renal pelvis and some debris. After a thorough course of antibiotics it will subside and everything will come back to normal. If it is still persisting may be urine culture and sensitivity should be done and specific antibiotics given either oral or IV route. Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you. All the best With warm regards Dr Sanjay Kini
