Abstract

Urinary tract infections are a frequent clinical problem in all ages. Ultrasound is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of infections, allowing you to quickly diagnose complications and predisposing factors. This review provides an overview of the principal sonographic pictures during infections of bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles, testicles, epididymis and scrotum, providing a handy quick reference tool to the nephrologist interested in ultrasonography.
