Where is the renal papilla?

12 year old DSH F/S.

Presented for recurrent FIC. Cat not currently having an “episode” but owners wanted urogenital ultrasound.

Bloodwork WNLs (BUN and CREA normal, CREA 160).

Bladder – WNLs except small amount of mildly echogenic material in gravity-dependent area of bladder –> cysto UA – TNTC RBCs, 0-3 WBC/hpf.

Right kidney – WNLs, measured 3.95cm. Renal pelvis 1mm.

Left kidney – small (2.95cm), irregular contour. Feeling really dumb here, but having difficulty pinpointing exactly where the renal pelvis is – can you please enlighten me? Was thinking this was a case of CKD LK but having troubles with exactly what the RP measurement would be….

 

Thanks
