Overview

Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of acute kidney injury due to obstruction, hydronephrosis, enlarged kidneys, hyperechoic kidneys and thick and echogenic cortices.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute kidney injury. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of acute kidney injury due to obstruction include:[1][2][3]
    • Hydronephrosis
    • Enlarged kidneys
    • Hyperechoic kidneys
    • Thick and echogenic cortices
    • Hypodense band surrounding the kidney in acute cortical necrosis
