Renal sonography was compared with commonly obtained laboratory and pathologic data in 31 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Sonography was 95% sensitive in the detection of lupus nephritis, with the major abnormalities being abnormal renal size and cortical echogenicity. Sonography was useful in locating the kidneys for biopsy and in excluding hydronephrosis. However, in the overall evaluation of patients with uncomplicated lupus nephritis, sonography added little information not readily available from laboratory data.
对31例系统性红斑狼疮患者的肾脏超声检查结果与常用的实验室及病理数据进行了比较。超声检查对狼疮性肾炎的检测敏感性为95%，主要异常表现为肾脏大小异常和皮质回声改变。超声检查有助于确定肾脏活检的位置并排除肾积水。然而，在对无并发症的狼疮性肾炎患者进行全面评估时，超声检查提供的信息几乎没有超出实验室数据所能轻易获取的范围。
