Ultrasonic diagnostics perspectives in patients with urolithiasis (review)

Abstract

The current aspects of ultrasonic diagnostics and monitoring in treatment of urolithiasis and obstructive syndrome were considered on the basis of the analysis of native and foreign literature. The reaction of hemodynamic parameters of the kidney to obstruction of the upper urinary tract and the impact of the shock waves on renal parenchyma were under the study. The potential of Doppler in the evaluation of renal blood flow both before and after surgery were highlighted in the article
