Forty-seven patients including 18 with renal failure were studied. Kidney length, degree of cortical echogenicity, parenchymal thickness, visibility and dimensions of renal papillae, and existence of renal cysts were recorded during abdominal ultrasound investigations in all patients. Indications and contraindications for renal biopsy were determined. Ultrasound is a valuable method of easy evaluation of indications for renal biopsy in patients with renal failure. This method avoids the risks of postbiopsy complications, drug overdosage as well as additional X-ray exposures and scintigrams.
对47例患者进行了研究,其中18例患有肾衰竭。在所有患者的腹部超声检查过程中,记录了肾脏长度、皮质回声强度、实质厚度、肾乳头的可见度和大小以及肾囊肿的存在情况。确定了肾活检的适应证和禁忌证。超声是一种易于评估肾衰竭患者肾活检适应证的有价值方法。该方法避免了活检后并发症、药物过量以及额外的X线照射和闪烁扫描的风险。
