Abstract

'Intravenous urography' ialah satu penyiasatan radiologi di dalam pesakit batu karang. Penggunaannya telah melibatkan peningkatan masa pemeriksaan dan kos. Penyiasatan ini juga menggunakan radiasi dan kontras media yang mungkin memudaratkan pesakit. 'Ultrasound' boleh digunakan untuk mengenal pasti batu karang dan bengkak pada sistem ginjal. Gabungan antara 'ultrasound' dan 'KUB' boleh digunakan untuk mengenal pasti batu karang pada saluran ginjal. Kajian ini telah menunjukkan keberkesanan ultrasound dan KUB dalam siasatan pesakit buah pinggang. Intravenous urography has been a standard investigative method in patients with nephrolithiasis. Routine use of intravenous urography has shown to increase examination time and cost. Besides, it requires ionizing radiation and contrast media that carries a risk to the patient. Ultrasound can detect calculi and dilatation of the peJvicalyceaJ system. Combination of KUB and US can significantly improve the detection of calculi especially at the ureter. The study illustrates the effectiveness of ultrasound and KUB in evaluating renal colic patients compared to IVU.
