Artefacto de centelleo en ecografía de litiasis renal

Abstract

espanolLa litiasis renal es frecuente (prevalencia en poblacion general en torno al 10 %). Si el calculo se coloca en localizaciones estrechas cursa con dolor en el flanco y puede originar obstruccion y complicaciones secundarias. Para estos casos se recomienda actualmente la ecografia como metodo inicial de cribado; sus caracteristicas son la hiperecogenicidad y la sombra acustica posterior. En ocasiones, a pesar de situarse en localizaciones favorables para su exploracion, es dificil visualizar con nitidez las caracteristicas que lo definen. La presencia de artefacto de centelleo con doppler color aumenta la sensibilidad diagnostica. La disponibilidad de ecografia en atencion primaria, asi como el conocimiento de dicha tecnica, facilitan su identificacion precoz, acelera el proceso diagnostico y el inicio de la terapia y evita procesos invasivos caros e innecesarios. EnglishRenal lithiasis is very common with a prevalence of 10% in the general population. If renal calculus is in narrow areas, the patient could manifest flank pain, obstruction or other complications. In these cases, current guidelines recommend the ultrasound scan as a screening method because of its key features: hyperechogenicity and posterior acoustic shadowing. Sometimes, even if it is in optimal locations for its examination, is very difficult to see with great clarity the characteristics that define it. The presence of twinkling artefact in color Doppler ultrasound increases the diagnosis sensitivity. The availability of an ultrasound scan in primary care and the knowledge of its techniques facilitate the early identification of the problem, expedite diagnosis process and treatment initiation, and avoid invasive procedures that are expensive an unnecessary
