Question 1

parenchymal echogenicity is coarse, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

What Organ?: The term means that the expected uniformity of an organs' tissue texture has been degraded and the appearance has assumed a rather more coarse texture. This can be due to chronic disease but is not specific.

Question 2

what is the meaning of parenchymal echogenicity is increased?

Accepted Answer

Descriptive term: Not specific to any one thing.
Parenchyma is just the main part of an organ or tissue.
Echogenicity refers to how many echoes are produced by a tissue.

It just means more than expected echoes form whatever is being examined. I can't take this any farther without more information.

Question 3

good things to do if i have mild diffuse parenchymal disease kidney?

Accepted Answer

Kidney disease?: Your diagnosis of mild diffuse paenchymal disease (p) was made by a radiologist (r) looking at your renal ultrasound (u). The r's finding of p is a subjective one based on the r's interpretation of the u. You need to go to a nephrologist to have your urine collected for 24 hours to assess your kidney function, along with blood work. Then, can you have an objective idea of your kidneys' function.

Question 4

what's parenchymal echogenicity kidney?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: The term describes the sonographic characteristics of the kidney tissue. When the cortical echogenicity is increased the kidney looks brighter. This is a finding usually associated with various chronic renal parenchymal disease. When decreased can represent swelling from acute infection or renal vein obstruction.

Question 5

what are the ways of curing renal parenchymal disease?

Accepted Answer

Non-specific: I suspect that you may have read the results of a renal ultrasound that mentioned "renal parenchymal disease." This is just a suspicion (not a diagnosis) and must be clinically correlated. All this means in radiology is that your kidney tissue appears more dense than the liver tissue on ultrasound and may be suggestive of some kidney changes. Please see your local nephrologist for clarification.

Question 6

what is renal parenchymal disease and how is it treated?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: There are many different types of renal parenchymal diseases.Some have spesific treatments some do not.Progressive disease usually results in transplant or life time dialysis.

Question 7

what is parenchymal disease for thyroid?

Accepted Answer

Tissue cells: Hi. Parenchymal just means "of or regarding the cells that define the tissue". Like the hepatocyte is the parenchymal cell of the liver and the neuron the parenchymal cell of the nervous system, the thyroid follicular cell is the tissue-defining cell of the thyroid. Most diseases that affect it are autoimmune, although a large subset also includes neoplasia (benign and malignant changes).

Question 8

what is no active lung parenchymal infiltrates?

Accepted Answer

: The radiologist gets fussed at if they say "normal". This is wording that says there is no sign of any pneumonia.

Question 9

what is small sized kidneys with parenchymal desease and cortical cyst?

Accepted Answer

Nephrologist: Small sized kidneys  means kidneys appear smaller on ultrasound images. This must be evaluated in relation to the body size, age and renal function. On kidney ultrasound, kidney appearance is usually compared to liver , if kidneys appears more enhanced , it usually represents parenchymal disease which may be due to many causes like diabetes, hypertension etc. You must discuss with nephrologist.

Question 10

what is diffuse renal parenchymal disease?

Accepted Answer

Kidney Disease: "diffuse" means all over the kidney, "parenchymal" means the solid part of the kidney that filters the liquid waste products out of the blood, and "disease" means something is wrong. Typically "diffuse parenchymal disease" means an overall medical problem with the kidney, such as diabetic nephropathy, or post-streptococcal nephritis. In the pediatric world we use this term slightly differently.
