title: Ultrasound diagnostic capabilities in native kidney disease.
abstract: Renal ultrasound and Doppler studies remain vital diagnostic tools in the evaluation of common renal disorders. It is a non invasive and radiation free tool, which provides anatomical and functional information not provided by other modalities used in isolation. It is a first line tool for many suspected pathologies and is a valuable complementary tool to other modalities.
