Renal urolithiasis vs. dystrophic mineralization

  • 11 year old FS DSH with history of weight loss, chronic intermittent vomiting, and renal disease.  Recent episode of UTI being treated with Convenia.  
  • Abdominal US showed a slightly increased small intestinal muscularis to mucosal ratio and mildly reactive colic lymph nodes consistent with IBD or early LSA.  The caudal half of the left kidney shows a hyperechoic medullary band. Color flow Doppler was negative for blood flow over the lesion.

    • Just wondering how to describe this change in the kidney.  Would you call this a stone or dystrophic mineralization?
