[Use of ultrasonic scanning of the kidneys and abdominal portion of the aorta in the diagnosis of certain forms of symptomatic arterial hypertension].
Ultrasonic scanning of the kidneys, abdominal aorta, and renal arteries was conducted in 2 patients with hypertensive disease and in 13 with symptomatic arterial hypertension. An ultrasonogram of a normal kidney and aorta was obtained, as well as ultrasonograms with changes recorded in pyelonephritis, polycystosis of the kidneys, atherosclerosis and panarteritis of the abdominal aorta and its branches. Ultrasonography is a noninvasive, informative method which does not harm the patient. It may be used in the diagnosis of some forms of symptomatic arterial hypertension associated with affection of the kidneys and abdominal aorta. Ultrasonic scanning is particularly valuable in the examination of patients for whom radiocontrast methods are contraindicated.
