Overview
CT scan may help in diagnosis of acute kidney injury due kidney stones (not detected by ultrasonography), hydronephrosis or hydroureter and renal artery stenosis.
CT scan
- Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute kidney injury. Findings on CT scan suggestive of acute kidney injury include:[1]
- Kidney stones not detected by ultrasonography
- Hydronephrosis or hydroureter
- Renal artery stenosis
