Overview

There are no specific findings of hypoaldosteronism on ultrasound. However, ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of hypoaldosteronism from disorders of renal or adrenal glands. Chronic kidney disease is an important cause of hypoaldosteronism and on ultrasound presents with reduced renal length, reduced renal cortical thickness, poor visibility of the renal pyramids and the renal sinus. Hypoaldosteronism from adrenal insufficiency may present with irregularly shrunken adrenal glands, adrenal nodules, and signs of calcium deposits.

Ultrasound

There are no specific findings of hypoaldosteronism on ultrasound. However, ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of hypoaldosteronism from disorders of renal or adrenal glands.[1][2]
