Ultrasonography (USG) was performed in 117 children aged 8 months-14 years with ureterolithiasis. X-ray and ultrasonic evidence was compared for the upper, middle and low parts of the ureter. USG proved preferable for imaging of the upper and low ureter, x-ray negative concrements, in loss of renal function, while x-ray was much more informative for visualizing middle part of the ureter. Thus, USG is thought highly effective in diagnosis of ureterolithiasis in children.

Article Synopsis
- Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) is a leading cause of hydronephrosis in children, and while ultrasonography is useful, it can't determine if an obstruction is present; thus, Ureteric jets through color Doppler ultrasound are being studied for this purpose.
- The study aimed to evaluate Ureteric Jet Frequency (UJF) and Relative Jet Frequency (RJF) in children with unilateral PUJO before and after administering furosemide, assessing their effectiveness for diagnosis and post-operative monitoring.
- Results showed that UJF was significantly lower on the obstructed side, but the difference was not significant when compared to controls; after surgery, both UJF and RJF increased, indicating their potential utility in

Background Renal insufficiency, a critical concern in native and transplant kidneys, necessitates effective screening modalities for evaluation and management. Grayscale sonography has been a cornerstone in renal diagnostics, providing basic anatomical insights such as renal length, cortical thickness, and collecting system dilatation. Despite technological advancements, its impact on the differential diagnosis or management of renal disease remains limited, often showing normal findings in the presence of severe renal dysfunction.
