  • Title: Diseases of the kidneys.
    Author: Rantanen NW.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 1986 Apr; 2(1):89-103. PubMed ID: 3516330.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound examination offers important diagnostic and prognostic information in renal disease of the horse. Differentiation between acute nephrosis and chronic renal disease can usually be made because of the advanced degree of morphologic change usually prevalent in chronic conditions. Dilatations of the recesses and pelvis (hydronephrosis) as well as the relative thickness of the renal cortex and medulla are readily determined. Mineral densities (calculi) are recognizable by their characteristic acoustic shadowing.
