Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Do Thinning Corticle Of Kidneys, And Thickened Bladder Wall Indicate?
I had a ct scan that showed thinning cortical of both kidneys and the right kidney smaller with a cyst and stone. It also showed the bladder wall has thickened and today my urine test came back with infection with two bacteria I have a appointment to see a urologist in a few weeks but I m wondering what could all this mean.
Long-standing infection or stone disease may lead to these findings. Consult a urologist and get evaluated. You have to undergo an isotope scan( DTPA scan) to assess the functional status of your kidneys.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
