Overview
Abdominal Ultrasound
Abdominal ultrasound is an essential investigation in all patients with polycythemia unless the cause is obvious.
Abdominal Ultrasound
Abdominal ultrasound is an essential investigation in all patients with polycythemia unless the cause is apparent. Findings on an abdominal ultrasound are suggestive of polycythemia include:[1]
- Splenomegaly (minor criterion, while palpable splenomegaly is a major criterion for the diagnosis of primary polycythemia)
- Simple renal cyst (renal arteriogram should be performed if there's any suggestion of pathology on abdominal ultrasound)
