Background and Objectives: One of the most prevalent illnesses that people might get is urinary tract infections. primarily elderly people and women. Age and gender are two of the risk factors for acute UTIs, and clinical criteria are the main basis for diagnosis. However, ultrasonography is frequently required as part of the therapy workup to assess complex infections, chronic presentations, and contributing or causative variables. Clinical therapy, including aggressive and emergent therapies, is guided by a proper understanding of the most pertinent sonographic characteristics in urinary tract infections, which also give pertinent differential diagnosis.
METHODOLOGY: The current study is a mere descriptive research which has been reviewed and approved by the ethical committee of the University of Lahore, Pakistan. Data was collected from Shalimar Hospital Lahore. Under this group, 136 adults had positive UTI laboratory findings and had abdominal ultrasound. Patients with
abnormal urinary tract disease or immunocompromised illness were not included. All data were done in Excel while data analyses were done in SPSS version 21.
RESULTS: This study collected data from 136 patients, with a minimum age of 14 years and a maximum age of 44 years. Of these, 48 (35.3%) were female and 88 (64.7%) were male. All patients had normal Blood perfusion of the right and left kidney. Urinary bladder echoes found in37 (27.2%)in which 08 patients of 14 to 21(40%) years had Urinary bladder echoes, 24 patients of 22 to 29 (25.5%) years had urinary bladder echoes, 3 patients of 30 to 37 (17.6%) years had urinary bladder echoes, 02 patients of 38 to 44(40%) years had urinary bladder echoes.
CONCLUSION: Age and gender contribute to UTI occurrence with male individuals being more susceptible to the condition. Sep 6 2011 Bladder echoes are noticed in 14-21 years and 38-44 years and pyelonephritis in adults. USG is pragmatic in the formation of UTI images..
