摘要：

Ultrasound (US) imaging of the kidneys was performed in 43 pediatric patients with end-stage liver disease evaluated for orthotopic liver transplantation. Renal size was increased in 8 patients (19%) and echogenicity of the kidneys was increased in 12 patients (28%). In 12 patients studied after liver transplantation, US revealed normal renal size in all and increased echogenicity in only 2 patients shortly after transplantation. Normalization of renal US findings was also found in 2 patients studied before and after liver transplantation. The glomerular filtration rate varied from 65 to 225 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in 5 patients with abnormal US, and from 74 to 116 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in 3 patients with normal US. Nephromegaly and increased echogenicity on renal US are frequent in children with end-stage liver disease and appear to be mostly reversible by liver transplantation.
