“…Similarly, the more closely packed cellular elements of the pancreas in newborns and infants lead to higher echogenicity. The same reason is assumed for the higher echogenicity of the kidneys in this age group [4].…”

An increased echogenicity of the pancreas ("white pancreas") was sonographically found in 25 children with various pancreatic and systemic diseases. Fifteen patients with cystic fibrosis had a small white pancreas. Five patients with haemosiderosis, two with pancreatitis and one with Shwachman-syndrome presented with a normal-sized or slightly enlarged pancreas. Fatty infiltration and calcifications of the pancreas can also increase its echogenicity.

A prospective renal ultrasound study of 134 newborns (49 prematures weighing less than 2500 g and 85 more mature hahies) was undertaken to investigate factors associated with increased renal cortical echogenicity (RCE}. Increased RCE was seen in 39 (29 per cent) babies. It was significantly related to body weight, age, medical status, blood urea nitrogen , and serum creatinine. In view of the interdependence of these factors however, multivariate analysis was performed, which revealed that age was the most important factor associated with increased echogenicity (r = -0.46}, and the other factors had only small independent effects, increasing the multiple r to 0.56. The authors conclude that an infant's immaturitv is the most import
