Overview
Ultrasound is usually not recommended as it is of minimal diagnostic value in diagnosing RPGN, however it helps in diagnostic biopsy.
Ultrasound
- Kidney ultrasound is usually done during the diagnostic biopsy. Due to its rapid progression, the renal biopsy usually shows normal-sized kidneys. Although the test is not diagnostic, its non-invasive nature and the necessity to rule out other etiologies of renal impairment are both in favor of performing a renal ultrasound[1].
