How Can Any Kidney Condition Be Interpreted Through An Ultrasound Scan?

Hi I am 57 yrs old. The result of my ultra sound says that: few well circumscribed anechoic foci with posterior acoustic enhancement are seen in bilateral kidneys. Right kidney measure 0.8x0.8x0.7cm in mid pole. 0.9x0.8x0.9cm i th upper pole and 1.3x0.9x1.1cm in lower pole. In the left kidney, measure 0.8x0.9x0.6cm in upper pole. 1.0x0.9x0.8 interpolar region and 0.9x0.9x0.8 in lower pole. It also says that kidneys are in normal normal size. The right measures 10.8cm and left 10.4cm in greatest sagittal dimensions. They have normal cortical echotexture and thickness and are free of hydronephrosis, suspiscious masses and nephrolithiasis. Please, please Doctor, I want to know what will happen to me so that I can prepare for the worst. Please email me. Thank you very much.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

See, it is clearly mentioned that both kidneys are normal in size but anechoic region in both kidneys can be either simple renal cyst or can be renal mass.

But, since you have not mentioned any symptoms, it is very difficult to say it is mass. So, I would suggest you to consult your surgeon and get it evaluated further to rule out renal mass.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mrugank Bhavsar
