Bailey Beam is a dog I scanned for practice while sedated for cleaning a hot spot
labs were normal except ALT 166 and AP 365.
Saw this abnormal Left Kidney on U/S
Eric, you looked at this scan for me (invoice 53915)…Noted the renal calculi and sl. pylectasia but noted the parencyma was mostly unremarkable and possibly associated with pyelonephritis

The LK especially looks odd to me in shape with a bulging coming off the cranial pole region…Is this the area you’re saying may be related to pyeloneprhitis?? It doesn’t look like any kidney I’ve seen (in my short U/S career) and I’m trying to wrap my head around it.
I was going to post back to you directly, but It’s a cool looking kidney so I thought I’d share.

Boy karma has a way of smacking you in the head…I scanned a dog today with a similar looking shape to the left kidney although not as dramatic…Don’t know if I’m inadvertantly twisting may hand during my fan or what but oh well.

From your last video I made
From your last video I made some screen shots showing the cortical stone cranial pole (short arrow) and the pyelectasia (long arrow) and a cyst and irregular area (curved arrow) at the medial cranial aspect of the kidney likely secondary to stone movement. When stones move the parenchyma gets odd and dystrophy and infarcts… That’s what may have happened here.
thanks,
that helps a lot.
