Overview
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with hyperkalemia.However depending on the cause of hyperkalemia ultrasound findings of the particular cause might be present.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Renal causes
In chronic kidney diseases USG findings are; [1][2]
- Reduced renal cortical thickness <6 mm
- More reliable than length
- Reduced renal length
- Increased renal cortical echogenicity
- Poor visibility of the renal pyramids and the renal sinus
- Marginal irregularities
- Papillary calcifications
- Cysts (see also: acquired cystic kidney disease)
