Light Up A Stogey...
I had my first ultrasound yesterday, but I'm somewhat disappointed to say that it is neither a boy nor a girl:
ULTRASOUND EVALUATION OF KIDNEYS
INDICATION: c/o right flank pain and hematuria.
TECHNIQUE: Transabdominal evaluation of retroperitoneum was performed with special attention to kidneys.
FINDINGS: The right kidney measures 113 x 47 x 62 mm and contains a calyceal stone measuring about 7 x 5 x 7 mm. The left kidney measures 118 x 59 x 61 mm. The renal parenchymal thickness is 11 mm on the right side and 14 mm on the left side. No hydronephrosis is identified.
The limited evaulation of the urinary bladder is unremarkable. The ureters cannot be well evaluated in the retroperitoneum.
IMPRESSION: A small right sided nonobstructive calyceal stone.
In case you ever decide to ask me for a kidney, keep in mind that the left one is larger, thicker, and seems less prone to producing stones...
Which means you can have the right one.
What's this about my bladder being unremarkable? I beg to differ.
