Die Möglichkeiten des nephrologischen Ultraschalls sind vielfältig und werden durch technische Neuerungen stetig erweitert. In der klinischen Routine erfolgt meist die Beurteilung der Niere im B-Bild, die Messung der Nierengröße sowie die Analyse der Nierendurchblutung mit Doppler-Verfahren. Diffuse Erkrankungen des Nierenparenchyms können sonographisch unzureichend genau voneinander unterschieden werden, doch die Parameter Nierengröße, Echogenität des Nierenparenchyms und renale Widerstandsindizes helfen bei der Einordnung. Zur Abklärung fokaler Erkrankungen, am häufigsten von Nierenzysten und Nierentumoren, wird seit einigen Jahren erfolgreich Ultraschallkontrastmittel eingesetzt. Für die Detektion von Nieren-und Uretersteinen kann der Farb-Doppler unkonventionell verwendet werden. Künftige Neuerungen für den nephrologischen Ultraschall sind vor allem durch das Ultraschallkontrastmittel, die Elastographie und den Einsatz von dreidimensionalem Ultraschall zu erwarten.

In the clinical routine the most commonly used procedures are the evaluation of the kidneys using B-mode ultrasound, measurement of kidney size and perfusion analysis of the renal cortex with Doppler methods. Diffuse diseases of the kidney parenchyma show a broad overlap of ultrasonographic signs. Helpful parameters for estimating the severity of several kidney diseases are kidney size, echogenicity of the renal parenchyma and renal resistance indices. Contrast media ultrasound has so far been successfully used for analysing microperfusion in renal masses and also for the classification of kidney cysts. Nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis can be detected using colour Doppler ultrasound in an unconventional way. Future developments for nephrologic ultrasound are expected in the field of contrast media ultrasound research, in sono-elastography and in three-dimensional ultrasound.

“…[1][2][3] The incidence of hydronephrosis diagnosed by sonography is low in ARF among ICU patients. 4 However, sonography can often provide evidence of chronic renal failure that may be useful in clinical management 5 and demonstrate incidental lesions of the kidneys and retroperitoneum.…”

“…Today, many nephrologists are routinely performing renal ultrasonography, ultrasound-guided renal biopsy, tunneled hemodialysis catheter insertion and percutaneous endovascular interventions. Recent data have demonstrated that the performance of nephrologyrelated procedures by an interventional nephrologist can provide effective, efficient and prompt care to the patient with renal disease and that these procedures can be safely and successfully performed by a nephrologist trained in interventional nephrology (IN) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…Ultrasound is a safe and simple tool that can be employed effectively by nephrologists as a critical element in the diagnostic workup of a patient with renal disease. Since interpretation of these studies relies a great deal on clinical correlation, nephrologists are ideally suited to perform renal sonography (3,8,11). When performed by the nephrologist, ultrasonography yields prompt diagnostic information that can be incorporated into a differential diagnosis and allow treatment plans to be quickly formulated.…”
