COMPREHENSIVE ULTRASONIC STUDY AS A METHOD OF DIAGNOSTICS OF GLOMERULONEPHRITIS

Glomerulonephritis is a group of immune-mediated inflammatory kidney diseases characterized by primary glomerular damage followed by interstitial tissue involvement, a tendency to progression, progression to nephrosclerosis, and the development of chronic renal failure syndrome. Until recently, nephrology lacked highly informative methods for reliably assessing hemodynamic changes in the kidneys. With the introduction of Doppler ultrasonography into medical practice, it has become possible to use them for dynamic assessment of renal blood flow.
Doppler ultrasonography is typically used to diagnose lesions in the main arteries, which have a relatively large diameter. However, assessing Doppler ultrasonography parameters at various levels of the renal artery in children with glomerulonephritis is a challenging clinical diagnostic task.
