Ultrasonography is used as a first line imaging technique to differentiate between acute and chronic kidney diseases in type 2 diabetes. The renal parenchymal thickness of left and right kidneys were compared and a detailed documentation was made. Our study included adult male and female population who were known case of Diabetes Mellitus, above 18 years of age and biochemically diagnosed for nephropathy. All patients were subjected to ultrasonography evaluation of the renal parenchymal thickness and the findings were documented.
