Ultrasound Of Kidney Done. Do The Results Indicate Necessary Kidney Transplantation?
Dear Sir:
Greetings from Sunit Mishra
My Friend's ultrasound showed corticomedullary differentiation is reduced, his serum urea is 198.2 mg/dl and his serum creatinine level is 16.8 mg/dl. Doctor told him to go for kidney transplant. His age is 25 only. Kindly suggest does these much findings result in kidney transplant. He is passing his urine normally though he has lost his appetite.
