Abstract :

More than a half million currently have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and an astounding 20 million have physiological evidence of chronic kidney disease.There is high rate of the renal stone among Taif population; the renal dialysis center in the King Faisal Hospital receives 100 patients daily.This study was prospective, descriptive and analytic study. The study followed the global protocol to achieve examination of the abdomen by ultrasound. The abdominal ultrasound was done by using direct adhesion technology with convex transducer with frequency ranges between 3.5 to 5 MHz. The CT machine used was Toshiba 64 slice.This study was prospective, descriptive and analytic study. The study followed the global protocol to achieve examination of the abdomen by ultrasound. The abdominal ultrasound was done by using direct adhesion technology with convex transducer with frequency ranges between 3.5 to 5 MHz. The CT machine used was Toshiba 64 slice. The study concludes that the CT is superior to the U/S in diagnosis renal stones. Continuous monitoring by lab examination such as urine general is so important, periodic U/S of the renal system is helpful in detecting early formation of the stones.
