The complex cyst can be further evaluated with doppler ultrasonography, and for Bosniak classification and follow-up of complex cysts, either contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) or contrast CT is used. [12] Histopathology of the lining of a simple cyst of the kidney, incidentally found on autopsy, with inconspicuous nuclei.
Cysts cause posterior enhancement as a consequence of reduced attenuation of the ultrasound within the cyst fluid (Figure 5). The simple cyst is a benign lesion, which does not require further evaluation. [1] Complex cysts can have membranes dividing the fluid-filled center with internal echoes, calcifications or irregular thickened walls.

Cysts lined by a simple epithelium with a hobnail morphology, i.e. the nuclei of the cyst lining epithelium bulges into the lumen of the cysts, Ovarian-like stroma that has a: Spindle cell morphology, and has a; Basophilic cytoplasm. Cystic nephromas have an immunostaining pattern like ovarian stroma; they are positive for: Estrogen receptor (ER),
In some instances, other methods must be used to distinguish between a normal cyst and a pseudocyst. [3] This is usually accomplished with endoscopic ultrasound or with fine needle aspiration. [2] Transabdominal ultrasound can be used to identify pseudocysts, which appear on the scan as echoic structures associated with distal acoustic ...
Ultrasound involves a probe that is placed near a structure and uses the transmission of ultrasound waves through a structure to produce images, after computer processing. [1] Ultrasound of the urinary tract is performed by a probe placed on the abdominal wall, called a transducer. [1] This occurs while a person is lying down. [1]
The flow of contrast (up from the bladder to the kidney) is opposite the usual outbound flow of urine, hence the retrograde ("moving backwards") name. A retrograde pyelogram may be performed to find the cause of blood in the urine , or to locate the position of a stone or narrowing, tumour or clot, as an adjunct during the placement of ureteral ...
Nephrocalcinosis is diagnosed for the most part by imaging techniques. The imagings used are ultrasound (US), abdominal plain film and CT imaging. [10] Of the 3 techniques CT and US are the preferred modalities. In some cases a renal biopsy is done instead if imaging is not enough to confirm nephrocalcinosis.
