Abstract
- In order to determine sonographic characteristics of renal tuberculosis, we retrospectively collected 27 casesduring a 5-year period. Infected kidneys showed large size(52%) and lobulating contour(76%). In 19 cases ofincreased parenchymal echogenicity, most of them (16 cases) showed decreased parenchymal thickness. We dividedhydronephrotic patterns into 4 categories; predominant calyceal dilatation with mild or no pelvic dilatation(67%), focal calyectasis without pelvic dilation (15%), parenchymal cavitation without hydronephrosis(11%) andproportional hydronephrosis with calyceal deformity(7%). Our findings suggest that disproportional hydronephrosiswould be the characteristic finding fo renal tuberculosis.
