Use of ultrasound in renal hypertension.
Ultrasound provides a noninvasive, sensitive, and accurate method of evaluating the kidneys in hypertensives. Although specific histologic diagnoses cannot be made, patients can be classified based on renal size and parenchymal pattern. This information is especially helpful in azotemic patients with hypertension.
