Overview
Ultrasound and doppler imaging is helpful in the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis. Findings on an ultrasound include normal or increased kidney size, alterations in cortical echogenicity and increased RI. There are no echocardiography findings associated with acute tubular necrosis.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Ultrasound and doppler imaging may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis. Findings on an ultrasound and doppler imaging suggestive of acute tubular necrosis include:[1][2][3]
- Normal or symmetrically enlarged kidneys
- Variable cortical echogenicity
- Increased parenchymal thickness
- Resistive Index (RI) on doppler is increased ≥0.75.
- Resistive Index ≥0.75 has 91.3% sensitivity and 85.2% specificity to distinguish acute tubular necrosis from prerenal azotemia.[4]
OR
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with acute tubular necrosis. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of acute tubular necrosis, which include:
- Hyperkalemia
- Hypocalcemia
