General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for asking your question on HCM.
the ultrasound report which you have sent gives the report based on your abdominal organs including your liver ,spleen ,intestines(small and large) kidneys and bladder and also reproductive organs
Since you havent provided any clinical history ,a complete diagnosis cant be provided.
the report suggests that your intestine loops have been filled with a lot of gas because of which the other organs are not visible clearly.this can happen due to various reasons,simple cause being constipation.
the other part of the report suggests that you might be having small stones within your kidney on both sides.
but since they have mentioned it as query(?),it requires further investigations to confirm the diganosis.
hope this information was helpful.
regards,
Dr.Radhika
