Abstract


Aim & objectives: To study the relationship between ultrasonographic renal parameters and renal impairment in patients with chronic kidney disease. Method: Total 106 patients with CKD were undergone ultrasonographic examination for evaluation kidneys. Renal length, cortical thickness and cortical echogenicity were documented on B-mode gray scale using 2-5 MHz probe in Esaote USG machine at beginning, at 3 month and at 6 month. Results: Mean renal length was 8.88cm, mean cortical thickness was 8.80mm and mean eGFR was 35.99 ml/min/1.73m2. Serum creatinine showed negative correlation with cortical thickness (r=-0.7498, P<0.001) and renal length (r=-0.5867, P<0.001). eGFR showed positive correlation with cortical thickness (r=0.6931, P<0.001) and renal length (r=0.5668, P<0.001). Cortical echogenicity showed strong positive correlation with serum creatinine (r=0.7782, P<0.001) and strong negative correlation with renal function (eGFR) (r=-0.7698, P<0.001). Conclusion: Cortical thickness and cortical echogenicity showed significant and strong correlation with serum creatinine and renal function than renal length.
