Overview
Renal ultrasound is useful to estimate the kidney size and echogenicity. Decreaed renal size (eg. less than 8 cm) is consistent with irreversible renal injury.[1] Echocardiography is indicated when a cardiac murmur is noted on physical examination or when there is a high suspicion of bacterial endocarditis causing renal involvement and nephritic syndrome.
