Overview
- CT scan without contrast of the abdomen is usually preferred for diagnosing analgesic nephropathy, the findings include: decrease in renal size, irregular contours and papillary calcifications.
CT Scan
- Renal biopsy is the diagnostic study of choice, however, since it is an invasive procedure, CT scan without contrast of the abdomen is usually preferred.[1][2]
- The findings on CT scan without contrast of the abdomen in analgesic nephropathy are:[2]
- Decrease in renal size
- Irregular contours
- Papillary calcifications.
