Abstract
BACKGROUND Renomegaly is easily picked up by ultrasound examination. Improved computer technology led to improved resolution which further made Ultrasonography the 1st line of investigation in the evaluation of renomegaly. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cross sectional study of renomegaly in rural patients who attended SRGH as in patients or out patients with renomegaly. Only previously diagnosed and operated cases were excluded. RESULTS Hydronephrosis was the most common condition and lymphoma was least common condition. CONCLUSION Ultrasonography is a very effective modality in diagnosis of renomegaly. Characterization of renal masses into solid or cystic is excellent.
