[Ultrasonic characteristics of kidneys in chronic kidney insufficiency].
Ultrasound examination of kidneys obtains various information on the state of kidneys which may point to the function itself: the size of kidneys, their shape, the state of edges and cortex, their relation with the surrounding tissues and organs, parenchymal structure and width, presence of delay in the conveying system, nature of obstacles as well as their localization. Excretory, intravenous urography is mostly impossible to perform in patients with renal insufficiency so that is why we mainly practice ultrasound checkups and laboratory analyses in surveying the state of kidneys. This is a report on a sample of patients with chronic renal insufficiency who were on chronic hemodialyses. The most common cause of renal failure are the following: endemic nephropathy 29.70%, various inflammatory states 34.24% and congenital anomalies 6.6%.
