Imaging techniques, particularly ultrasound methods, can provide significant support in the differential diagnosis of renal diseases, whether they are acute or chronic. According to the main nephrology and imaging scientific societies, ultrasound methods represent the most appropriate first-choice imaging test to assess patients with both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Indeed, they allow the evaluation of intrinsic causes of AKI, distinguish between acute and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and detect acute obstructions of the urinary tract.

摘要

Imaging techniques, particularly ultrasound methods, can provide significant support in the differential diagnosis of renal diseases, whether they are acute or chronic. According to the main nephrology and imaging scientific societies, ultrasound methods represent the most appropriate first-choice imaging test to assess patients with both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Indeed, they allow the evaluation of intrinsic causes of AKI, distinguish between acute and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and detect acute obstructions of the urinary tract.
