The diagnosis of renal carbuncle has been prolonged from the time of onset of symptoms to the institution of treatment producing a significant rate of mortality. The use of retroperitoneal ultrasound is demonstrated as a noninvasive method for making an earlier diagnosis of renal carbuncle than has been afforded by more conventional means. This report illustrates the technique of nephrosonography and briefly reviews the medical and surgical approaches to this disorder. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case wherein ultrasound, and not pyelography, demonstrated a carbuncle without the aid of invasive arteriography.
肾痈从症状出现到开始治疗的诊断时间已被延长，导致了显著的死亡率。腹膜后超声被证明是一种比传统方法能更早诊断肾痈的非侵入性方法。本报告阐述了肾超声检查技术，并简要回顾了针对该疾病的内科和外科治疗方法。据我们所知，这是首例报告病例，其中超声而非肾盂造影在未借助侵入性动脉造影的情况下显示出痈肿。
