dc.description.abstractOur purpose was to assess the time interval between the visualization of renal medullary hyperechogenicity and its resolution in neonates with acute renal failure. Seven newborns with renal medullary hyperechogenicity and acute renal insufficiency noted on ultrasonography (US) were included in the study group. Their ages were ranged between three and six days. All of the patients underwent US at the first presentation and in the follow-up. In all of the patients diffuse medullary hyperechogenicity was noted in the bilateral kidney. Biochemistry examinations revealed abnormal BUN and creatine level in all neonates and additional hypernatremia in four of them. The medullary hyperechogenicity totally disappeared between the 10th and 30 th days of the neonatal period. Renal functions had normalized before the resolution of medullary hyperechogenicity between the 7th and 10th days. Transient medullary hyperechogenicity may be delayed due to presence of abnormal renal functions. For this reason, while deciding to examine these patients for metabolic disease. persistent renal medullary hyperechogenicity after 10 days in the neonatal period should be evaluated in accordance with biochemistry findings.en_US
