Role of Echography in Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease in Children

Abstract

The article provides data from a literature review on the possibilities of the complex application of ultrasound diagnostics in chronic kidney disease in children. The resolution of ultrasound examination of internal organs in children is fundamentally higher than in adults, due to the poorly developed subcutaneous fat layer, which, together with the advent of new high-resolution ultrasound technologies, allows us to differentiate pathological changes in organs with high accuracy. In recent years, the number of specialized literatures in the field of ultrasound diagnostics, including in pediatrics, has increased significantly, however, many aspects remain insufficiently covered.

         Thus, ultrasound diagnosis is the method of choice in the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease in children.
