The right kidney is slightly hyperechoic with decreased corticomedullary
differentiation. It is normal in position and size, measuring 11.3 cm in long
axis. No evidence of hydronephrosis, renal mass, or perinephric fluid
collections.
The left kidney is slightly hyperechoic with decreased corticomedullary
differentiation. It is normal in position and size, measuring 11.9 cm in long
axis. No evidence of hydronephrosis, renal mass, or perinephric fluid
collections. There are two anechoic cystic lesions within the lower pole of
the left kidney with increased through transmission and imperceptible walls
without internal septations, calcification, or internal color Doppler blood
flow compatible with benign simple renal cysts. The more superior lesion
measures 9 x 7 x 7 mm and the more inferior lesion measures 1.3 x 0.8 x 0.8 cm.
The urinary bladder appears normal.
Findings of hyperechogenicity and decreased corticomedullary differentiation
are suggestive of medical renal disease. Clinical correlation is advised.
Can someone please tell me what the findings mean? Am I going into Kidney Failure. I have no toher medical conditions. I had a routine UA done over a week ago and protein was noted in myurine so my doctor sent me for an ultrasound. My creatine was normal and all other test. I am 44 and I'm an AA Female. thank you.
