Whether the underlying pathologic change is glomerular sclerosis, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, or inflammation, the result is often increased echogenicity of the cortex. The echogenicity of the kidney should be related to the echogenicity of either the liver or the spleen (Figure 22 and Figure 23). Moreover, decreased kidney size and cortical thinning are also often seen and especially when disease progresses (Figure 24 and Figure 25). However, kidney size correlates to height, and short persons tend to have small kidneys; thus, kidney size as the only parameter is not reliable.<br /> &lt;gallery widths=&quot;200&quot; heights=&quot;200&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Ultrasonography of chronic renal disease caused by glomerulonephritis.jpg|Chronic renal disease caused by [[glomerulonephritis]] with increased echogenicity and reduced cortical thickness.
