The kidneys are a vital organ, and their condition needs to be checked from the first days of life. Some congenital pathologies may not have external manifestations, but a timely ultrasound examination (US) of the kidneys can help detect them and prevent serious complications, emphasizes our urologist Igor Grymak.
👶 When should a kidney ultrasound be done?…
- Optimally – within the first 7–14 days after birth
- If there were cases of kidney diseases in the family – even at the childbirth stage
- If during pregnancy peculiarities of the urinary system were detected in an ultrasound
🩺 What does the ultrasound reveal?
- Developmental anomalies (doubling of the kidney, absence of one kidney, change in size)
- Hydronephrosis – dilation of the kidney calyx, which can lead to kidney function impairment
- Polycystic and other congenital changes
- The presence of stones or sand in the kidneys (which rarely, but can occur even in infants)
Timely diagnosis is the key to a child’s healthy development! If your little one hasn’t undergone a kidney ultrasound yet – do not postpone this important examination.
