Calculi (stones) of the kidneys and ureters may be detected by ultrasound. A kidney ultrasound may be performed to assist in placement of needles used to biopsy (obtain a tissue sample) the kidneys, to drain fluid from a cyst or abscess, or to place a drainage tube.
Before birth, the kidneys normally pass through a complex series of developmental steps when they change position and orientation. Malrotated kidneys occur when these steps do not occur in the usual way so the kidney ends up in an abnormal position, orientation, or both. Malrotated kidneys are generally easily diagnosed by sonogram. Often, kidney malrotation is found in an otherwise healthy infant or child, sometimes noticed on a prenatal (before birth) sonogram, and may not have any impact on health.
