Sonographic grading of renal parenchymal disease radiopaedia

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\orange{\sf Answer}$

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal failure, is a progressive loss of glomerular function caused by a long-standing renal parenchymal disease.

• It is present when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for three consecutive months or greater than or equal to this value in patients with a kidney damage that is present for three or more months 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Sonography is extensively used to assess the kidneys and sonographic grading of renal parenchymal changes is also used by both radiologists and nephrologists to assess the renal function. ... Normal GFR is above 100 ml /minute/1.73 m2. A GFR in the range of 60 -100 may indicate early renal disease.
