What do white marks on a kidney ultrasound scan mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough Question: Boy thats a tough question. Usually things that are bright on ultrasound are calculi (stones), air, or fat. If it were air the pt would likely be very sick. Fat is almost always benign, and stones can cause symptoms ranging from mild pain to sepsis.
