The diagnosis was confirmed by the alteration of shape, size, position and echogenicity of the renal. Abnormalities on renal were extension of medulla, urolithiasis, and renal atrophy. The extension of medulla was indicated by medulla and pelvis dilatation, also disappearance of renal parenchyma. Sonograms of renal urolithiasis were shown by hyperechoic mass with acoustic shadowing. Narrowing of medulla and disappearance of cortex structure were the characteristics of renal atrophy sonogram.
