My sonogram showed a shadow on my left kidney. I went in over concern about my gall bladder. As far as I can tell I dont have any kidney problem symptoms. A CT scan is scheduled for next week. I am 58 years old without major health problems, slightly overweight. I am female
Hi, Thanks for writing in. I am an expert in ultrasound and CT scan. I would like to know in greater detail about the abnormal shadow on your left kidney. Furthermore, I suspect you had a pain in the abdomen and the initial symptoms were that of a gall bladder problem. However, after doing the scan, it is seen that the left kidney probably requires detailed evaluation. Please send in the complete report of your ultrasound scan and any pictures should you have them. I will go through in detail and try to interpret them and discuss it in detail. You can upload a copy of your ultrasound report, and we will get back to you at the earliest with the probabilities in your left kidney. Please do not worry.
