Putty kidney
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Putty kidney refers to a pattern of renal calcification associated with renal tuberculosis conventionally described on plain radiography. Calcification outlines a kidney entirely,characteristically is very homogeneous and this isground glass like, representing calcified caseous tissue 3,4. Premkumar et al labelled calcification 'putty like' if any faint area of uniform calcification was more than 1 cm in diameter 4. Putty calcification needs to be differentiated from lobar pattern of calcification, wherein dense calcific rims outline the periphery of distorted renal lobes. Lobar calcification represents an end-stage appearance, associated with autonephrectomy.
