Showing 1 Abstract.
It is well-established and widely observed that newborn infants imaged by ultrasound may show transiently increased echogenicity of the renal pyramids within the first week of life, up to 10 days, postulated to reflect reduced excretion of urine that has been observed early in life. Over the past decade, as ultrasound technology has improved, we have observed in routine practice that many infants without renal disease manifest this echogenicity for several weeks and sometimes over a month. The aim of this study is to establish a new expected age range during which healthy infants may show hyperechogenicity of the renal pyramids using modern ultrasound equipment. Read More
