ABSTRACT
We determined the value of renal ultrasonography in the assessment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasiaRenal ultrasound was performed in 159 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and results were correlated with other clinical parameters of the patients, 11 (7%) had dilatation of the renal patients, 13 (8%) had renal cysts and 2 (1%) had nephrolithiasis. Serum creatinine level as one of the clinical parameters appeared to correlate well with hydronephrosis. Together with the results of post-void residual measurements, this study showed that renal ultrasound is suggested only in patients with a specific serum creatinine level and/or significant post-void residual volume.
