Renal Ultrasound

EXAM: Renal ultrasound.

HISTORY: Renal failure, neurogenic bladder, status-post cystectomy.

TECHNIQUE: Multiple ultrasonographic images of the kidneys were obtained in the transverse and longitudinal planes.

COMPARISON: Most recently obtained mm/dd/yy.

FINDINGS: The right kidney measures 12 x 5.2 x 4.6 cm and the left kidney measures 12.2 x 6.2 x 4.4 cm. The imaged portions of the kidneys fail to demonstrate evidence of mass, hydronephrosis or calculus. There is no evidence of cortical thinning.

Incidentally there is a rounded low-attenuation mass within the inferior aspect of the right lobe of the liver measuring 2.1 x 1.5 x 1.9 cm which has suggestion of some peripheral blood flow.

IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of hydronephrosis.
2. Mass within the right lobe of the liver. The patient apparently has a severe iodine allergy. Further evaluation with MRI is recommended.
3. The results of this examination were given to XXX in Dr. XXX office on mm/dd/yy at XXX
