A member asked:
Can a renal ultrasound diagnose renal parenchymal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically: An ultrasound can suggest radiographic evidence of medical renal disease but cannot diagnose this. To make the diagnosis of renal parenchymal disease the radiographic findings must be combined with blood studies of kidney function and sometimes urine studies for protein or a kidney biopsy.
