Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common global public health problem. Since renal parenchymal disease is accompanied by renal dysfunction, monitoring renal function permits assessment of disease progression, and periodic assessment of renal function is necessary for optimal management of a patient with suspected/proven renal disease. Serum creatinine (S Cr), blood urea (BU), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) derived from creatinine clearance are useful for monitoring renal function; however, these indirect measures of renal filtration are imperfect and cannot assess single kidney function. Keeping in view the limitations of serum markers, imaging may play an important role in the evaluation of renal parenchymal disease. Ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomographic (CT) scan provide good anatomic images but limited functional information
