[The role of echo scanning of the kidneys in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis].

The role of echo scanning in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis was evaluated in 123 patients. It was established that ultrasonography in acute pyelonephritis is a highly informative diagnostic method. The importance is high in acute obstructive pyelonephritis and less informative in acute non-obstructive pyelonephritis. The method has no equal counterparts in the most difficult cases for diagnosis. Association of renal echo scanning with traditional method significantly increases the diagnosis quality.
