Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with pyelonephritis. Ultrasonography is an effective non-invasive technique in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis. It is sometimes used as a replacement of cortical scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children.
Echocardiography
There are no echocardiography findings associated with pyelonephritis
Ultrasound
The diagnosis of pyelonephritis using ultrasound may feature the following:[1][2][3][4]
- In case of recurrent urinary tract infections, it can help to rule out presence of anatomical defects like polycystic kidney disease.
- Emphysematous pyelonephritis: Ultrasound will present an enlarged kidney containing air filled regions within the renal parenchyma, with shadowing shown posterior to the defect. It might not be as helpful in detecting the depth of involvement and stones can also show posterior shadowing.
- Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: Ultrasound shows the inflammatory mass, with central shadowing depicting renal calculi.
