On CT scan without contrast enhancement, the attenuation of the renal cortex is slightly higher than that of the medulla. Similar imaging findings may be seen in patients with sickle cell disease and ... Patchy or wedge-shaped areas of poor contrast-enhancement are seen in various causes of ARF and renal infection.

The least common form consists of multiple punctate calcifications with a random distribution in the renal cortex. However, none of these patterns are pathognomic and may be recognized in all causes of cortical nephrocalcinosis [8].

Diagnosis of renal pathology often involves biopsy of renal cortex and careful examination of renal corpuscles. Several special stains as well as electron microscopy are used to reveal details of the glomerular basement membranes, podocytes, and mesangial cells.
