Overview
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].
OR
Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Ultrasound and doppler imaging may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis. Findings on an ultrasound and doppler imaging suggestive of acute tubular necrosis include:[1][2][3]
- Normal or symmetrically enlarged kidneys
- Variable cortical echogenecity
- Increased parenchymal thickness
- Resistive Index (RI) on doppler is increased ≥0.75.
- Resistive Index ≥0.75 has 91.3% sensitivity and 85.2% specificity to distinguish acute tubular necrosis from prerenal azotemia.[4]
OR
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with acute tubular necrosis. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of acute tubular necrosis, which include:
- Hyperkalemia
- Hypocalcemia
