I was hoping to get an opinion on these kidneys. Sorry about the image quality- especially that R kidney.

– BUN 38, Creat 2.5, SDMA 28. Urine clean and isosthenuric. Negative culture

– Prot/Creat 1.3

– Blood pressure 140 mmHg

– Lyme- negative. Not checked for Lepto

To me the L kidney was small with an irregular capsule indicating possible infarcts. It appears that there may be a mass or irregulatrity of the cortex of the caudal pole.

The R kidney looked small – but I did not appreciate some of the capsular or cortex changes.

The R kidey was right at the junction of the 13th rib and abdominal wall. I could not get good images intercostal and there for the R kidney is tipped and not of the greatest quality.

Any input would be appreciated.
