What is 76857
Location: Hospital RADIOLOGY REPORT EXAMINATION OF: Retroperitoneal sonogram, kidneys CLINICAL SYMPTOMS: Elevated creatinine 49. RETROPERITONEAL SONOGRAM, KIDNEYS: Findings: The right kidney measures 12.6 x 5.4 x 5.0 cm. The cortex is thinned diffusely. The left kidney is smaller, measuring 10.0 x 5.1 x 3.9 cm. The cortex is preserved. There is a 1.5 cm cyst seen anteriorly in the interpole region on this side. Bladder not well evaluated as the catheter is in place. There is mild prominence of the right proximal collecting system relative to the contralateral side in spite of the empty bladder. Cannot exclude mild caliectasis on this side. Also, cortical thinning suggests chronic renal insufficiency.
