title: [Results of sonographic kidney diagnosis].
abstract: In a prospective study of the examination of the accuracy of the ultrasound tomography in the renal diagnostics the kidneys of 361 patients could be demonstrated as at 100% sufficiently to be judged. Tumours, congestion kidneys, cystic kidneys/renal cysts and cirrhoses of the kidney were diagnosed with an efficiency of 0.92-0.96-0.97-1.0. The sensitivity was in the same order 0.90-0.96-0.99-1.0 and the specificity 0.94-1.0-0.95-1.0. Insufficient results were obtained by the sonographic search for renal calculi. As non-invasive and rapid method of diagnostics the sonography in a valuable way contributes to the differentiation of the symptom "quiescent kidney" and oligo-anuria.
