Hi im 27 years old women. ive had a lot of pain in my kidney. I told my doctor who sent me for ultra sound to see if i have kidney stones. this was ruled out but found a shadow on my right kidney. i now have to got for a cat scan but they have not told me what it could be. More waiting and very worried.
HelloShadow in kidney is a non-specific finding, and it may be due to many causes. It is important to know how it appears in ultrasound means whether it is hypo or hyperechoic in appearance. It may be due to many causes like hypertrophied column of Bernini, adenoma, abscess etc. You are rightly advised for contrast CT scan. CT scan is very helpful in assessment of lesions. CT or USG guided FNAC can be done if needed. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Take Care Chat Doctor.
