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 [1] [2] are;
- reduced renal cortical thickness <6 mm 6
- more reliable than length 7
- 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)
