Diagnosis of renal disorders in dogs using ultrasound technique

The present work was undertaken to diagnose the renal disorders in dogs using ultrasound technique and correlate the clinical findings, haematobiochemical changes and urine analysis with ultrasound observations. Out of 72 dogs, 11 (15.28%) were diagnosed for renal diseases. Out of renal disorders (15.28%), 07 comprising of Renal failure (9.73%) and 04 of Pyelonephritis (5.55%). Ultrasonographically, loss of architectural detail, hyperechoic periphery, indistinct contours of renal cortex and small sized kidney were observed in renal failure. In pyelonephritis increased echogenicity of the renal cortex and medulla. Renomegaly with lack of demarcation of corticomedullary junction.
