A member asked:
Does loss of cm differentiation on kidney ultrasound only indicate a chronic problem or can it be acute too? or is it non-specific?

It reflects the scarring or fibrotic change of the renal parenchyma (the functioning part of the kidney) which takes months to years to develop, i.e. chronic.

I do not rely on ultra sound for such a problem It is operator driven and not as good as other tests.
