Associated Effects
..............................................................................................................
n
Displacement, compression:
x
Intrahepatic due to cirrhosis or tumors
x
Extrahepatic due to chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic tumors
n
Infiltration (Fig. 371):
x
Faint, irregular vascularity
x
The causative malignancy can usually be detected (see Search for Occult Tumors, p. 447)
Interpretation and Further Testing
..............................................................................................................
n
Sonography: CDS with the analysis of spectral indices has become the standard
method of choice for evaluating the portal venous system.
n
Pressure measurements and splenoportography: These are no longer used in
routine examinations.
n
Esophagoscopy and conventional esophagography: Gastroscopy or esophago-
graphy is essential for the detection of esophageal varices in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.

Kidney and Adrenal Gland

Kidney and Adrenal Gland
Kidney and Adrenal Gland
x
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneum on the iliopsoas muscles. Their longitudinal axes point laterally downward at a divergent angle. They are tilted laterally, and their lower poles are directed forward.
x
An imaginary line joining the bases of the medullary pyramids separates the cortical substance of the kidney from the medulla.
x
The center of the renal ellipse (central echo complex, CEC) appears hyperechoic and consists of vessels, connective tissue, renal sinus fat, and the actual renal pelvis.

n
Normal values:
x
Length 100–115 mm, width 50–70 mm, thickness 30–50 mm.
x
Parenchyma: The parenchymal–pelvic ratio (ratio of the combined anterior and posterior parenchymal thickness to the CEC) is 1.7 up to 60 years of age and 1.1 after age 60.
n
Note: Because of the position of the kidneys (see above), their size cannot be
accurately determined. It tends to be underestimated, and their sonographically
262
determined size is approximately 20 mm below the normal value. Unless the

longest renal dimension is accurately visualized, ultrasound measurements will be too low.
n
Scanning protocol:
x
Transducer: 3.5–5.0 MHz
x
Patient generally supine. Left lateral decubitus occasionally used
x
Right kidney: The right liver provides a good acoustic window for scanning the right kidney. The lower pole is occasionally obscured by the right colic flexure but is accessible to scanning from the posterior side.
x
Left kidney : An acoustic window is not available for the left kidney. Scanning from the posterolateral side is advantageous as it avoids overlying gas in the colon and gastric fornix.
x
Always scan the kidneys during inspiration and expiration to ensure that they are completely visualized (rib shadows and bowel gas are often troublesome) and move normally with respiration (i.e., are not fixed by perirenal abscesses).
x
Both kidneys are systematically surveyed in longitudinal and transverse planes.
n
Scanning tips :
x
If a kidney is not visualized, think of agenesis or nephrectomy. An ectopic kid­ney is often located in the lesser pelvis anterior to the iliac vessels. The possible causes of nonvisualization are listed below.
n
Note: Take measurements to determine renal size. A visual estimate is often
incorrect.
n
Causes of large or small kidneys (see also Table 47, p. 267):
x
Small kidneys: May be constitutional or may result from hypoplasia or ectopia, making the organs difficult to locate (Fig.
374).

Large kidneys: May be constitutional or may result from duplex kidneys, unilat­eral aplasia, acromegaly, or compensatory enlargement of the remaining kidney after nephrectomy (Fig.
n
Causes of difficult visualization or nonvisualization:
x
Ectopic kidney: Located along the path of its normal ascent, usually in the lesser pelvis near the iliac vessels; “lower abdominal mass” (see Fig.
x
Unilateral renal agenesis: Characterized by enlargement of the contralateral kid­ney
x
Hypoplastic kidney: Careful inspection of the renal fossa in a close-up view should reveal a small kidney with normal-appearing parenchyma.
x
Atrophic kidney: Shrunken kidney that displays abnormalities in its contours, internal echo pattern, or both
x
Renal fusion anomaly: A bilateral “horseshoe kidney” initially appears as two normal kidneys, but the lower poles are found to be fused across the midline in the lesser pelvis.

The right adrenal gland is located between the upper pole of the kidney and the inferior vena cava. The left adrenal gland lies between the upper pole of the kid­ney and the aorta.

Note: Normal adrenal glands can be identified only by prolonged scanning with
high-resolution equipment. They are easier to image when they are enlarged (see Fig.

Right adrenal gland : High lateral upper abdominal transverse or oblique scan defining the renal upper pole and the inferior vena cava (the adrenal gland should be between them), and an upper abdominal longitudinal scan in the midclavicular line or anterior axillary line demonstrating the vena cava
x
Left adrenal gland : High flank scan through the lower pole of the spleen and the upper pole of the kidney, with the transducer angled medially toward the aorta. As on the right side, the gland can be identified between the aorta and renal upper pole in a high upper abdominal transverse scan.

Overview and Classification of Findings
..............................................................................................................
n
Size changes: Acute diffuse diseases are generally associated with renal enlarge-
ment due to inflammatory edematous swelling, whereas chronic diseases are marked by a decrease in renal size caused by loss of parenchyma. In chronic glo­merulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy, the kidneys do not shrink in size until the disease has progressed to the dialysis stage.
n
Echogenicity changes: Increased or decreased echogenicity reflects tissue
changes at the histologic level (see Table
