Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of horseshoe kidney. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of horseshoe kidney include soft tissue mass, curved configuration or elongation of the lower poles and poorly defined lower poles and lower positioning of upper pole of kidney in abdomen.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of horseshoe kidney.Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of horseshoe kidney include:[1][2]
- Soft tissue mass can be seen anterior to abdominal aorta.
- Curved configuration or elongation of the lower poles and poorly defined lower poles.
- Lower positioning of upper pole of kidney in abdomen.
Other associated ultrasound findings of horseshoe kidney include:
- Renal stones.
- Hydronephrosis.
- Cortical scarring.
