What does this ultrasound regarding right kidney indicate?
Patient: I recently had a high viral (105 F) fever and preferred to get myself admitted to hospital. I was tested NS1 positive with platteletes count above 0.1 million always. No bacteri growth or any signs of infection observed in blood culture report. Medical history: I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a year back in a routine test. I had controlled it with regular exercise routine. For past few months ( around 3 months ) I was not following routine and the A1C came out as 8.4. After which I have been advised to take glimy 1mg. Towards the end of my stay I was asked to take an ultrasound of abdomen. In the result there were two findings.. 1. Fatty hepatomegaly 2. hyperechoic heteroechoic lesion measuring 4.6 × 4.2 cm, noted in the mid pole of right kidney. Please help me understand this second observation on right kidney.
