What Does An Echogenic Focus In Both Kidneys Mentioned In A USG Report Mean?
My ultrasound results shows kidneys normal in size with no hydronephrosis or stones but there is an echogenic focus in both kidneys, one is in the mid pole of the right kidney which is 5mms and one in the lower pole of the left kidney which measures 6mms. What could that mean. Thanks.

Hello,
The echogenic focus in the kidneys means the ability of the parts of the kidneys to generate echo signals on the ultrasonography.
Since no stones or hydronephrosis is detected, the echogenic focus produced is due to the gas present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
