Abstract

This study is descriptive deals with ultrasound finding characterization of kidneys in uti patient in port Soudan The objective of this study was to characterize the kidney’s appearance in patients with uncountable pus cells in the laboratory test. This study was done on 60 patients suffering from symptoms of renal infection with positive laboratory findings. The study was conducted from August 2018 up to December 2018 in port Soudan hospital The machine used in the study was using a curve linear probe with a frequency 3.5 to 5mhz .Data was collected using the fallowing variables : patient age , kidney size , echogenicity ,cortex ,(normal or bright ) ,PCS (normal or thick ), corticomedullary differentiation (good or poor ) .patent age included in the study was between 1 to 50 years old .The data was analyzing using SPSS The study was done and showed the following. Females are more affected by renal infection 56.7% There is a relation between changes in kidney volume,loss of C\M differentiation and increase of cortex echogenicity in some chronic cases, which could be an indication of beginning of renal parenchymal disease. The results of renal scanning were that there is significant relation between the diagnosis finding/ with renal cortex echotexture for Both kidneys As well as corticomedullary differentiation at p=0.020 for the Rt kidney and also there is significant relation with the amount finding for both kidneys. The renal volume increased significant at p=0.000 in pyleonephritis for b oth Rt and Lt kidneys. According to the results ultrasound can aid in diagnosis of renal infection and detection any parenchyma changes can result from infection except in early stages of infection.
