In this study the Authors examine the utility of the ultrasonographic investigation in the preoperative evaluation of 22 patients submitted to nephrectomy for tubercular lesions, comparing the informations obtained from this procedure with the histologic report. The renal ultrasonography execute with a Toshiba 3.5 Mhz probe, has been utilized to value morphology, volume, parenchymal echostructure and hydronephrosis. According to the Author's series, the ultrasonography has shown a 100% sensitivity permitting to well value the presence of parenchymal lesions and hydronephrosis. As regards the tubercular renal injuries the ultrasonography is non-specific because it does not allow to have pathognomonic images. The results obtained from the U.S. are overlapping to the Results Related from the literature for abdominal CT. The Authors argue that U.S., rapid and economical investigation is an efficient complement to the urography for an exhaustive preoperative evaluation of patients suffering from renal Tuberculosis.
在本研究中，作者检查了超声检查在22例因结核病变接受肾切除术患者术前评估中的效用，将该检查所获信息与组织学报告进行比较。使用东芝3.5兆赫探头进行的肾脏超声检查，已用于评估形态、体积、实质回声结构和肾积水情况。根据作者的系列研究，超声检查显示出100%的敏感性，能够很好地评估实质病变和肾积水的存在。至于结核性肾损伤，超声检查是非特异性的，因为它无法产生具有诊断意义的图像。超声检查所获结果与腹部CT的文献相关结果重叠。作者认为，超声检查快速且经济，是对尿路造影的有效补充，可用于对肾结核患者进行全面的术前评估。
