Ultrasound kidney investigation in hemolitic-uremic syndrome in children
Abstract
Article presents data on ultrasound examination of kidney and renal blood flow in 102 children with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). In all patients the disease dynamics was examined (up to 16 tests), each ultrasound examination included examination in B-mode, duplex doppler scanning (DDS) and dopplerography (DG) of intrarenal vessels. Juxtposition of the clinical features of the disease, of the results of ultrasound examination and morphological examination allowed to determine in the beginning of the disease the two following HUS variants: glomerulothrombotic and arteriothrombotic microangiopathy. Features of renal blood flow were studied corresponding to various morphological types and at different phases of course of the disease. Principles of an estimation of renal blood flow in case of polyorgan insufficiency were developed. Sonographic signs were determined allowing at early stages of the disease to specify its probable gravity.
