Very good morning doctors. could a renal kidney mesenteric ultrasound rule in or rule out possible renal kidney multiple myeloma or possible renal kidney amloydisis? could a renal regular renal ultrasound (that is not mesenteric) reveal any of these?

: You can't diagnose multiple myeloma or renal amyloidosis by the ultrasound, regardless what technique you use. These conditions are diagnosed by blood and urine tests, bone marrow biopsy +/- kidney biopsy. Ultrasound may reveal the suspicious findings but not the diagnosis. Take care.
