I have lupus and about 7 other immune disorders. My filtration rate is at about 35 (non black) and my cretinine is now at 1.25 about. My renal ultra sound came back with "increased echogenicity". What does that mean? Thanks Sharon
Echogenic is the ability of an organ to generate sound waves. An echogenic kidney will generate sound waves making an ultrasound possible.
what is the echogenic focus of the kidney mean
A kidney that is visible by sonography
central echogenic stroma
Echogenic cardiac focus is the bright spot seen on a baby's heart during an ultrasound.
Echogenic foci in the gallbladder are usually small polyps. They can be seen on an ultrasound and are often benign.
Echogenic liver is also known as fatty liver. This is when fat deposits on the liver and can't burn itself off.
when endometrium visualize more brighter or hyper echoic on ultra sound scan , then thats called echogenic endometrium
Renal parenchymal disease basically appear echogenic. There are three grades of renal parenchymal disease. Grade 1: the Kidney parenchyma is isoechoic to the liver, but there is still cortiomedullary differentiation. Grade 2: the kidney parenchyma is hyperechoic to the liver with preservation of corticomedullary differentiation. Grade 3: kidney appears hyperechoic. No corticomedullary differentiation!
An echogenic nodule is when something appears solid and brighter than anything near it in radiology. The nodules are usually 2cm or smaller and solid, but they can be fluid-based, too.
Hepatic veins do not have echogenic walls. Anechoic means not having or not producing echoes. The hepatic vein carries blood from the liver.
yes
Echogenic spleen is simply a phrase used within the medical field to describe a spleen that is being seen via an ultrasound. Coders and transcriptionists are the ones who use this phrase most often.
An accessory kidney is an "extra" kidney.
The organ was called a kidney first. The kidney bean is called so because it is shaped like a kidney, the organ.
