title: [Kidney parenchyma diseases].
abstract: The systematic appraisal of the kidneys with respect to differential diagnosis in ultrasonography is an important feature. The integration of the clinical point of view is essential in judging ultrasound findings that appear often moderate and aspecific, especially in respect of diffuse parenchymatous kidney-diseases. The most important characteristics of typical diffuse parenchymal disorders and focal alterations in ultrasonography are depicted.
