Echogenic Kidneys

Review of 2,700 abdominal ultrasonic examinations revealed 56 patients whose kidneys showed increased echogenicity. Echogenic kidneys were associated with medical renal disease in 94% of cases (30% glomerular, 48% tubulointerstitial, 16% end-stage) and with no detectable renal disease in 6% (three patients). Patterns of increased echogenicity and renal size were evaluated. Specific patterns occurred in end-stage renal disease and polycystic kidney disease. Other medical renal diseases had overlapping ultrasonographic features. Some generalizations could be made although increased echogenicity was often nonspecific.

Cardiovascular complications are emerging as the primary cause of death for patients with childhood end-stage renal disease. Children with end-stage renal failure are subjected to many of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease identified in adult patients. Dysfunction of the endothelium is presently regarded as a first but reversible step in the development of atherosclerosis. Noninvasive techniques to assess endothelial function have been recently developed and have been proven to predict future mortality in adult patients. These techniques are readily applicable to pediatric patients. Endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in children in all stages of renal failure. Data on pediatric patients treated with peritoneal dialysis are currently lacking, however. Considering the abundance of cardiovascular risk factors specific to treatment with peritoneal dialysis, such studies should be initiated.
