Sonographic Evaluation of Urinary Tract in Patients with Abnormal Renal Function Tests and Urine Examination

Abstract

Background: Our study will provide reliable ways to diagnose Urinary tract abnormalities to health care professionals to further evaluate, follow up and  surveillance of the pathology . Materials and methods:A  cross-sectional study included 71 patients  with provisional diagnosis of  Urinary Tract Diseases along with the associated clinical manifestations and study duration is 4 months.Results: Our results  shows that among 71 patients, urinary tract diseases is recorded to be maximum in 40.21(57%)  patients and minimum  to be around 34 (44%). In urine analysis out of  71 patients, creatinine level is increase in (24%),  echogenicity of right kidney was increased in (1.4%)  and bilateral echogenicity was noticed in (17%) . Serum urea level is abnormal in (59.1%), echogencity of right and left kidney is increase in (6%) and (1.4%) respectively. Bilateral echogencity is notice in(28%). Calcium oxalate Crystal level is present  in (28%) and hydronephrosis is increased in (15.4%).Urinary bladder wall thickness is abnormal in (21%) patients, many and fewer Red blood cells present in (20%) and (2.8%) respectively . Pus Cells are increase in (36.6%) , hydronephrosis is noted in (15.4%).Patients have many and fewer pus cells (15.4%) and (17%) respectively.Conclusion: We concluded that  ultrasound parameters with correlation of laboratory tests has significant credibility to detect urinary tract diseases .
