I have had mulitple UTIs in the past year. About three months ago, I had a kidney infection . Five days ago, my kidney was aching (not the pain like I had for a kidney infection), I have been nauseous, and very tired. My urine culture came back okay. I got a KUB test done today. Of course, I viewed the CD and the one kidney shows black spots all over it, but the other kidney does not have that. What could that possibly be?
Hi., An ultrasound with dark shadows is not necessarily an indication of a pathology as even normal structures can show up on an ultrasound in this way. There is not enough information to tell you what the black spots represent, and you will need to wait for official results. It can be benign tumor, kidney stone, bruise, cancer, etc. but over 90% are benign. Please get blood reports for kidney function and see a nephrologist, take care
