What Does This Renal Cortical Scan Indicate?
the right kidney measures 11.0 x 4.0 x 5.0 cm.(LWH) with cortical thickness of 1.5 cm, while the left kidney measures 10.6 x 4.7 x 5.5 cm (LWH) with a cortical thickness of 1.4 cm. There is mild fullness of the right pelveocalyceal system. The cenal Parenchyma demonstrates homogenous ecopattern with no focal lesions seen. The central echo complexes are dense and compact with no ecstacia or lithiases...what is the meaning of that doc?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
The scan shows minimal collection of urine,in the right kidney.
That suggests, there's delay in the passage of urine, from kidney to bladder.
The cause for this has to be investigated.The tests to be done are :
1. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,and electrolytes.
2. CT-IVU.
If you've any doubts,you may send it to me,as a direct question.
