“…Paul H. Ellenbogen et al in their study stated that hydronephrosis is correctly diagnosed by ultrasound in obstructed kidneys with a sensitivity of 98%. 25 Ureteric calculus was seen in 8 patients with a sensitivity of 80%. This correlated with the study of Seong Jin Park et al, showing the overall sensitivity of sonography for detecting ureteral calculi were 98.3%.…”

“…15 Standard radiology protocol requires a prolonged >5 min study facilitated by color Doppler settings. 15,17,18 Although not technically challenging, this time commitment may make it less attractive to most emergency physicians ( Figure 3). Furthermore, ureteral jet parameters have not been demonstrated to be helpful in staging the size of renal stone or need for surgical intervention.…”

My patient has abdominal and flank pain: Identifying renal causes

et al. 2015

Acute flank and abdominal pain are common presenting complaints in the emergency department. With increasing access to point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS), emergency physicians have an added tool to help identify renal problems as a cause of a patient's pain. PoCUS for hydronephrosis has a sensitivity of 72-83.3% and a varying specificity, similar to radiology-performed ultrasonography. In addition to assessment for hydronephrosis, PoCUS can help emergency physicians to exclude other serious causes of flank and abdominal pain such as the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or free fluid in the intraperitoneal space, which could represent hemorrhage. Use of PoCUS for the assessment of flank pain has resulted in more rapid diagnosis, decreased use of computed tomography, and shorter emergency department length of stay.
