What Does This Ultrasound Regarding Right Kidney Indicate?

I recently had a high viral (105 F) fever and preferred to get myself admitted to hospital. I was tested NS1 positive with platteletes count above 0.1 million always. No bacteri growth or any signs of infection observed in blood culture report. Medical history: I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a year back in a routine test. I had controlled it with regular exercise routine. For past few months ( around 3 months ) I was not following routine and the A1C came out as 8.4. After which I have been advised to take glimy 1mg. Towards the end of my stay I was asked to take an ultrasound of abdomen. In the result there were two findings.. 1. Fatty hepatomegaly 2. hyperechoic heteroechoic lesion measuring 4.6 × 4.2 cm, noted in the mid pole of right kidney. Please help me understand this second observation on right kidney. My Age: 35 years Weight : 86 kgs Food Habit: Non Vegeterian Thanks in advance A.K

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the radiological(USG scan) findings that you have stated I would state that you have what is called as Angiomyolipoma of the kidney which needs further evaluation .


Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) CT scan of the abdomen and Pelvis
4) MRI (if required).

Further treatment(if required ) will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

Dr.Patil.
