Abstract :

Renal related complications are common among patients with hypertension. Sonography can assess kidney size, shape, cortical thickness and echogenicity. The present study was aimed at assessing the renal size, cortical thickness and renal echogenicity in patients with primary hypertension and to correlate it with their serum creatinine levels. Study was conducted at Bharati Hospital, Sangli using an ultrasound machine Affinity 50 and the patient selection was as per reference to Radiology department.
