| dc.description.abstract | A total of 105 patients who underwent renal ultrasound at Kenyatta
Nation Hospital during the study period qualified for inclusion in the study
group. There were 54(51.4%) males and 51 (48.6%) females.
The commonest indication for requesting renal ultrasound were as
follows: Inflammatory renal diseases (44.8%), Nephrotic syndrome
(11.4%
), Renal stones (6.7%), Obstructive Uropathy (6.7%) Renal
masses (6.7%).
Indications which showed high number of normal renal ultrasound
scans were; Nephrotic syndrome (23.1%), and Inflammatory renal
diseases (37.4%).
Patients who had their management altered wf3re mainly those in
whom ultrasound showed a structural disorder e.g hydronephrosis
(53.80/0),' and Renal masses (solid) (100%). These are the situations
where surgery was decided upon on the basis of ultrasound results. | en |
